Easy photo editing Software?????

[cmputrskillme]

Hey guys!

I'd like to purchase a program to edit photos for funny myspace pics.......

You know, like taking the face of some celebrity and putting it on a fat hairy body or.......adding funny text to a picture....or making a guy look like a girl with pink hair.....etc.

I need it to be easy to use like Broderbund Print Shop (you know, so easy a five year old can use it!) I don't want it to be a big huge bloated program that is expensive and will take me a two week class to learn how to use!

Looking for your suggestions!

Thanks!

... and there are lots of user-created plugins to give any pic that special warped something.

I don't know. Although this is a big 'photoshopish' application, I'd recommend GIMP. It's free to boot :)

Thanks for the suggestions.......I've downloaded the "getpaint" and was able to get some text on a picture. I've downloaded Gimp and am totally clueless as to how to get a set of "a$$cheeks" to shake or a set of "boobs" to bounce or making someone wave......I'm also not sure how to remove a face and put another in or paint hair or put a black eye on someone.

I'm sure it's because I don't even understand what half of these features are called to even choose it?????

I'm an idiot.........is there advice on a particular setting or feature that makes those things happen? Perhaps an ebook or page that I can read to learn how to do these things?

My blond roots don't run that deep........;)

Thanks EFC.......though these tutorials are very informative, I think this stuff is WAY over my head.

Ok, whoever has a paypal account and wants donations, I have a few pics for you to manipulate for me.....LOL

I always use photoshop, I find it much easier then Gimp. In order to use photoshop one must plan ahead, that's all you need, as for the tools you can always play around.
The price wasn't a big deal, being in a photography student program, we get 25% off on adobe photoshop :D
