Thanks Marc and H, just a small but important additional piece of advice I'm looking for;

As a beginner, can Gimp etc fulfill the basic functions needed to get started in Ha + OSC? I'd rather spend more time getting a good grasp of the processing basics, then move on to the more sophisticated techniques that PS would provide.

I guess what I'm intimating is that, although I realise PS is the obvious end game, I'm hesitant to outlay what I consider to be pretty big bucks for it until I've convinced myself that my basic astro needs cannot be met by Gimp etc.

Will such programs do the basic entry job or am I wasting my time and should jump straight into buying PS?
