I use Photoshop a LOT for all my photo editing so I’ve become pretty adept at using it. The only drawback is that it can become a bit time consuming no matter what your skill level. Something I just came across while watching a video podcast from commandN was a program called Picturesque by the folks over at Acqualia. This is an excellent program especially for web developers because it makes processing photos for websites a snap. You can do all kinds of great effects including round corners, reflections (my current favorite effect) and a bunch more. They offer a free-trial and a price tag of only $19.50 (cheap compared to Photoshop – and also a great price for all the time you’ll save if you currently do a lot of billable work in Photoshop)
This is Mac-only software so sorry to all my Linux/Windows readers. If you have a program you use on another platform, feel free to pass along a link in a comment.
