I've used Photoshop for quite some time now, and i've always liked it! You can really do alot of cool things in Photoshop, it's great!

This took me 2-3 minutes. I added some light and boosted the color a tiny bit. (You can of course do ALOT more, this is just a tiny example)
Looks soo much better:

Before:


After:

i used Gimp ( open source image editing program ) and pused green and blue in the arrea arround the insect that made it more vissible
gimp is free ofc

Thank you all very much for all your help!!

I have downloaded and installed Gimp on my computer AND on my portable device.
I have dowloaded (but not installed yet) Lightroom and Photoshop Element (both trial versions from the Adobe web site).
I was unable to download the tral version for Photoshop Extended but I think there was a problem on their part...
I was always getting an error message.

But I have plenty to have fun for now, and while I learn about editing, I can go with Photoshop later

And, if you trials expire, an easy way to get around it is to set your computer clock date back a bit!

(A legal and easy way to "trick" your system into letting you use it longer!)

Ok.. all i can tell you is that photoshop is a professional tool for photographers, my mum use it ( i am 14 ) even if she is not a professional photograph.. the original one, which my mom bought worths ~ 500 Euro
I do not use this program yet because is too high 4 me but i saw the differences between a simple photo and a photoshoped one... this program worths every coin
