I would start with the software that came with your camera, it is very basic but a good starting point,.there is also GIMP which is similar in nature to PS and free, there is also Photoscape which i highly recommend and my students love it very much.When you out grow free then there is Corel Painter PRo that will also support Topaz labs black and white effects, and I believe Nik Silver Efex Pro another outstanding black and white conversersion piece of software

thank you im downloading the GIMP
now i need a camera!

 

[Rawlins]

Yeah....camera's are pretty useful when it comes to photography!

 

[sleepwalker]

yes indeed...so is money...im trying very hard not to just use the ole plastic

If money is an issue, have you thought of getting a refurbished or used camera. Often older models can be obtained relatively cheaply, particularly if a newer model has been introduced. These may be used and older, but they are often sufficient to get someone started in digital photography with a relatively decent DSLR. Camera stores like B&H and Adorama sell refurbished models. As well, local camera stores may also sell them. Just a thought.

The easy to learn and operate software is the least capable software.

Apparently you've done no research on your own initative.
