Photoshop is the indusrty standard, and probably the best image editing software, that said it's not the easiest to learn. Lightroom is gaining ground, although a different sort of application, it's really more of a raw converter, but is quicker and easier for basic editing large numbers of image (raw or otherwise)
Paint shop pro, is similar in many ways to photoshop but a lot cheaper, although it doesn't seem to have the following photoshop has.
Gimp is also similar-ish to photoshop but a free application.
Personally I use photoshop for the tricky editing, and lightroom for the bulk of weddings etc.
I could live without lightroom, but I couldn't manage without photoshop. Wayne

I use Photoshop CS, which was an upgrade. It works fine for me.
Last December I bought Photoshop Elements 7. It can now be purchased for less than £70. I shoot in RAW, do editing then pass it back to Elements 7 where I could carry out a further edit and save in a range of file formats. Instead, I save it and open it in Photoshop CS (because that is what I am used to).
I do agree that for most of my shots Photoshop is overkill. If you are not familiar with any of the software then Elements 7 is a good package.
