John,
	Here are two shareware programs that outshine a lot of other
	stuff and that are simple enough that you really start
	being productive within an hour's time, ... an evening
	at worse.

	For the PC: PaintShop Pro 5, available at:

	http://www.jasc.com/

	For the MAC, Graphic Converter 3.3.1, available at:
	http://www.agro.ucl.ac.be/biom-pub/www/pub/resour/downl/graph/Mac/Graphicconver
ter_fat.sit
	the latest version, 3.6 is available at:

	http://www.lemkesoft.de

	but the site is very slow today ( ???).

	There are many excellent "professional" software packages
	but they can be so heavy that someone who is trying his hand
	at that for a first time could easily get turned off.
	If you intend to get involved heavily, it's another matter.
	The above two are definitively stamped with excellence
	and both enjoy wide spread acceptance.
	They often can be found on computer
	magazines' CD-ROMs too.

	Have fun !
