One is photo compression software, of which there are many types available, Purchased online for around $30 on average, these programs will take a batch of photographs and reduce them in size and resolution till the their computer "weight" is sufficiently reduced so that they can be transmitted in a reasonable time to another computer which can be any where in the World.

If you just have a few digital images that you wish to send to a loved one through the internet, nowadays there many "photo album" programs available that will present these images aesthetically.

The next step up the ladder is a friendly little program that has been around a lot time. Paint Shop Pro produced by the Corel software company is cheap and cheerful, fast and friendly. PSP provides a whole new set of alternatives for digital imagery processing both for the web or in print.

To most digital photographers in the know the pick of the bunch is Adobe's Photoshop. This program has been the market leader and trail blazer in digital imaging as long as the industry exists.
