Photo Editing Software

[YoungBuzzer]

I know some of you guys out there do some photography on the side or alot. I just got a Nikon D5100 for xmas (which I'm still learning how to use) and I'm looking at getting some photo editing software. Do you guys recommend any?

I am looking at Adobe's products right now. Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 seems like its gotten a lot of good reviews. I've seen the package they off with that and Adobe Premier Elements 10 (video editing?) for a fair price.

Also seen the Adobe CS5. I know its expensive but is it worth it?

I'm still fairly new at it all but have always loved photography but finally got a camera to do decent work with. I guess my goal eventually would be able to get stuff printed for framing. Not sure if I'll make it to sell stuff, but would be great!

Would appreciate any info you guys have!

Thanks

Adobe CS5 is very worth worth it especially if you can get someone that is going to college to buy it for you!! You might be able to get the CS5 package for like $125. I couldn't afford to pay full price for it!
