Re: NPR: where do u get photoshop?
GIMP
Does everything that the full version of Photoshop does, but it is totally and legally free. 
That's been my main photo editing tool for years now. There's really nothing you can't do with it.
Like I tell people, download it and try it. If you don't like it, it only costs you an hour of time.

Re: NPR: where do u get photoshop?
Probably the best way to learn is to just take a photo (make sure you make a copy first...   ), then just start playing.
A lot of what you'll start with is under TOOLS
Under TOOLS is "Paint Tools"
I really like the Clone tool. That's what I use to erase cuts, scratches, stray hairs, unwanted strangers in the background, etc.
Choose the Clone tool, and you'll see a dotted circle. Hold the <CTRL> down and click on an area. Now, move the mouse and hold the left button down. You'll see that you are cloning the area where you originally picked. If you pick a spot very close to a scratch, you can clone the exact color and texture of the skin to cover over the scratch.

I never knock Photoshop tools of any kind. They are all great packages, and do great things, but many of us can't justify $175 just to clean up some home photos when I can do the same thing and more for free.
Picasa from Google
is another free tool that is simpler than GIMP. It does a lot less, but should be easier to learn.
Free is good...
