Which Software

I'm super new to scrapbooking and would love to know which software programme most people find good for those of us just starting out! I have GIMP and I am trialling scrapbook max (which I am not convinced with!)
Looking forward to your responses.

I would suggest trying Serif's Craft Artist 2, you can get a free download here to try it out before you buy.

I found this software easy to use, and there are a ton of tutorials on how to do things in it. It works great for putting together digital pages. If you want to learn how to create your own elements, paper etc, then something like PaintShop Pro, or Photoshop Elements would be good. You can create digital pages in those last two programs as well, but for just starting out, I think Craft Artist would be a good program to get your "feet wet".

Anita most use Photoshop, you can also get a free version Photoshop CS2. Or Paint Shop Pro.

The following is also a discussion on software which may be helpful.
