It depends on what you want to do. There are
currently 4 versions of Photoshop:
* Photoshop CS4 Extended
* Photoshop CS4
* Photoshop Lightroom 2
* Photoshop 7 Elements (Mac version is 6)
If you just want to "try your hand," at graphic
design, then Photoshop CS4 Extended is a bit overkill
for you needs. Photoshop Lightroom 2 is geared
toward professional photographers, so that's not
really what you would need either.
That leaves Photoshop CS4, Photoshop Elements,
and Photoshop.com. Of those, Photoshop CS4 is
going to be the most expensive, and the most powerful.
Photoshop.com offers a basic online photo editor,
and from what I can tell is free. Photoshop Elements
is somewhere between CS4 and .com in terms of
power.
I'd recommend trying out Photoshop.com, and if
that doesn't suit your needs, to try Photoshop
Elements or Photoshop CS4. Adobe provides free
trials of both on their site.
