If you're one of the people (like me) who needs to occasionally do some image editing, but who doesn't want to spend a few hundred bucks on Photoshop, you may want to check out Photoshop Elements 8.
Adobe has a deal on it right now: $20 off the normal price, and a $20 rebate, so that the final price is about $60. See the Adobe store. Deal ends 11/30/2009.
