Thanks.... i have pc's... so I would need those apps....

okay so I would need to purchase these programs.  These are two different programs (Lightroom + Photoshop) so I would take the pics, download them to lightroom - fix photos, save, than open the photos in photoshop to further edit?

sorry for the basic step by step asking....

Well well you could just buy photoshop and use bridge and the raw converter built into photoshop. I personally have little experience with bridge bc early versions were a bit buggy but it's apparently better now.  Lightroom does a good job of organizing and catalogong your images with some quite useful tools for basic photo editing. You will probably use photoshop very little.  In the event you do want to edit in photoshop it's a simple right click away and it loads it right up for you.  When your done you just close the window and it automatically saves a tiff version (you can save it however you want in the prefs) and loads it into lightroom right next to the original.  Probably the best thing about lightroom for most people is that it never touches the original.  If you do something and in a week you change your mind it's very simple to change it back. You will have a pm shortly...
