Has anyone tried this one?

I use Adobe's Lightroom - primarily for colour and exposure correction. It's a bit more expensive, though.
However, it's really productive from a workflow perspective, and all image adjustments are non-destructive and can be back-tracked.
I've found that for best results, shoot in RAW (which I think you can on the SP-350), then convert your shots to DNG as (or before) you import. That does need bigger memory cards, though ...
You can save common processes (e.g. export to web - and even ftp parameters) as presets, so you don't have to reinvent them.

I used to use Elements, but it ate my hard drives, as the PSD files got bigger with every extra layer.
Adobe offer a month's free trial if you download from their website.

Cheers,

I shoot JPG's. I do not save the PSD filles. I keep the original JPG and the new JPG I cleaned up in Photoshop Elements.

better yet ( to all posters ) is to shoot better photos to begin with!

Better underwater photography, and less software bandaids, is a better start IMHO.

I'm just sayin'............

Agreed, but I still need to organise / rate my photos, and add metadata / keywords.
Then I need different outputs (sizes & colour profiles) for web & print.
Can't really do all this in camera.

Sorry, I was imprecise. Opening a number of large PSD files at the same time meant lots of virtual memory paging, which ground up two hard drives (as opposed to just taking lots of space). That's down to my process, but may be a consideration for others.

We are only talking about touch ups, I think. For example I could not shoot the shark I posted above with my flash, as there was too much stuff in the water (back scatter).

I was jsut talking about basic touch -ups. We all want better photos. With me, I am a basic point and shoot with a Stylus 8000, housing and UF-1 strobe. My photos are scrapbookk quality if I amlucky. I am just looking for basic touch-ups!

I think I will try one of those free dowloads--either Picasa or Irfan.

Thanks for all the input!!
