Best Photo/Picture editing program

[m4roon77]

Hi all,
As a jokey kind of decoration for an up and coming wedding reception I need to run up some posters. I was thinking of printing up some famous movie posters replaceing the original faces with that of the bride and groom. What i need to know is what do people think is the best program to use? I need it to be as simple to use as possible and at the cheaper end of the price range. (but at the same time good enough to give decent results).

Anyone got any ideas?..........Thanks in advance.
Cheers.........Mark.

The 'lite' version of photoshop, photoshop elements is a great place to start and has enough in it to be useful for much more than just the wedding posters. Ususally found for about �50
