Photoshop is quite simple to use when you use it for awhile, like already said most of the functions are something you'll never need. But if you just need it for small things then it might be a little too much to pay. I have the PS CS3 and absolutely love it! Helps quite a bit when making composite screenshots to have for example the 'Smart Object' feature that you can use to edit the layer but still you can get everything back with a click of a button, or you can scale the layer down in size without losing any of the quality of whatever is in the layer. And of course, then there's the ability to open up movie files & 3D models, but havent really looked into that yet.

I vote for the Gimp too. I use it for more complex stuff.

For simple stuff, and probably something that you will use more often than not, is the Picture manager than comes on Office 2000, 2003, 2007. I bet it does almost everything you want it to do by the way, and simple is its first name. If it needs to be more complex, load it up in The Gimp.
