I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate. I have found it very good and easy enough to use. I am trying to get back into photography as a hobby and found this program as a "deal" at Buy.com. Seems to be money well spent so far. I looked into several others before I purchased this at the discounted sale price of $29 (normally $59). They have recently released an X3 version which sells for $59.
Others:
Gimp it's free but open source.
Picasa also free (from Google)
Photoshop elements 9 a little pricey at $99 ($79 on sale)
Elements has lots of online tutorials, Picasa is one my daughter uses, and I could still could end up going to GIMP--- but for now, learning to use PaintShop Pro is my goal.
I use Paint Shop Album 4 to organize my pics and am just now using tags to organize it. (I know. I'm late on this). I also have MGI PhotoSuite 4- but not very often at all and am thinking about deleting it.
I also have replaced FlipAlbum with Slideshow Expressions to merge pics to music as slideshows (on DVD) with mixed results. The music has been a problem- it doesn't seem to fill the slideshow like it is supposed to. Another thing to remember is that when I play it on a television it chops off the top and sides... that's important when I am cropping or when taking the pics... to leave a little headroom.
