Best software to use with JPEG files?

Google Picasa 3. New release just out. Free and can't be beat. Works with jpg, tiff, bmp, and many raw formats. Give it a try. You will like it.

I guess that it all depends on what features/actions are required to conduct basic photo corrections. If all you really want is to sharpen, crop, rotate, etc... then Picasa is all you would need (and I use Picasa for those functions as well as basic photo management).

However, if you want features such as localised (rather than global) edits, masks, filters, actions, then photo$hop (either the full version, Lightroom, or Elements) would be the way to go.

Quite correct. I try not to get into that other stuff. Really eats up time, but I have seen beautiful work using those advanced functions.

I just downloaded a full trial version of ACDSee Pro 2.5. Wow Really nice and easy to use. I have 30 days to check it out.
