Hey guys, I would like to get something but I do struggle to find what I am looking for.. Priority is cheap and easy to operate :)

Thanks,
Jan
 
Hi, if you are on Mac, probably the best choice is Pixelmator. Current price (during May) is just $14.99. You can't find better editor for that price. You can win a free license in our monthly contests ;)

As for the Windows, it's hard to say. Many people would recommend GIMP, but I personally consider it a waste of time, even if it's for free. If you are about to work with RAW files, the best value for money is probably Lightroom. But my personal favorite is still Silkypix.
 
Here's some links to PC software

http://www.rawtherapee.com/ -- nice that they offer this free. I've found it needs a bit of grunt to run and did crash on me a bit
http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/freeware/photobc-en.htm -- never tried it but it there!

Some free tools with limited or no RAW support
http://www.irfanview.com/
http://www.xnview.com/en/xnview/ -- is a brilliant browser. I love this
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
http://www.getpaint.net/ -- some claim to use this in place of Photoshop
