Corel or Photoshop?

Just my opinion which matters not all that much, you should have Adobe Lightroom or Apples Aperture. They are the most essential software for any photographer as far I am concerned. I just upgraded to Lightroom 3 and loving it. I have photoshop but use it for adding watermarks and resizing for the web more than anything else. It is not for a first purchase but if you invest in anymore software I would strongly suggest going with Lightroom, I used to use Aperture but the last release was a resource hog.

Absolutely agreed. I pretty much only use LR now...I have PSE7 and I have to say for me I prefer LR over it any day of the week. I too upgraded to LR3 and absolutely loving it!
