Photoshop ... which is why it's the industry standard... BUT... it has a steep learning curve and no-one said it will be easy, which is why people like me charge for their services...

Did I mention it was the most expensive and hardest to master?

Also have a look at:

http://www.portraitprofessional.com/

Simple to use and quite effective, although personally I prefer to use Photoshop for absolute control over what I do.

thanks miles, that link looks good has an offer on at moment till end june £35 so that good will try trial first!

just looked at your pics, amazing, what lens do you use for your portraits?

as you can see from my photos its early days for me, so much to learn and so many questions to ask!

if you get the shot right first time round you don't need expensive software :)

kazi - Corel's Paint Shop Pro ( http://tinyurl.com/bguvyj ) has those exact tools - + 1-click red eye fix and the ability to add a suntan.
Nothing to lose - other than time - download the free fully functional demo
