What kind of editing is she doing? If its tweaking photos something like Picassa would do the job nicely.

Photoshop CS3 or any of the earlier versions are extremley powerful tools, most people don't use 90% of its features.

It can be a bit difficult to get used to (such as layers) but once you master it, you can be surpised what you can do  :y

Yes, Tunnie, mainly tweaking photos. Not heard of Picassa -- will do some googling  ;)
Will also have a look at Photoshop Elements, cheers Nickbat.


Neither had I, dowloaded it, nothing like photoshop or even Jasc paintshop pro 8....... :)

Its not designed to be a editing program, it just sorts them for you. Can also browse them much better than in Windows. Good for when you have a lot of pictures.

Piccasa Web album is good too, right click them and you can make them viewable online to friends.

I use 'The GIMP' (Gnu Image Manipulation Program).

There is even a version packaged for MS Windows http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/  :)
By far the best for Linux (though not convinced Linux is a great platfrom for viseo editing), though not sure it would make a good windows version, as I bet the port doesn't get too much attention

And ask what Google are getting out of it - their business practices are renown for being not exactly whiter than white  :-X
