Digital Darkroom Software

Ok, so you've taken the plunge and went digital. Or you just need to resize a few images. What software should you use? There are loads of software packages on the market. These range from very advanced (and pricey) to bare bones (and free). Many of these software packages offer free trials for limited time spans or at least very good preview tutorials. There are even some online editing programs. Take some time to read about what a program can do and think about what you want it to do before buying.
