What program is easiest for taking, proofing and printing photos?

I do Santa pictures in malls and I am looking for a way to streamline everything. Has anyone heard of “Instapics”?

Photoshop may be the most powerful photo editor, but it’s certainly not easy! It’s hard to go wrong with Picasa for quick proofing (including slideshows), basic editing (red-eye correction, cropping, exposure adjustment, color balance, upsizing, downsizing, some special effects), and good printing.

I used to use a fairly expensive photo manager (ACDSee), but Picasa does things quickly, easily (many one-button fixes), and FREE from Google.

For online sharing, bar none the best web interface is Flickr.
