PHOTOSHOP !!

I've been exposed to this application many times over the years and just love it.
It opens up my creative side, oh all the wonderful things you can do.
We can all look like super stars!
Coming in at 2nd place is Adobe After Effects, it's great, robust, different, fun.
Plus it puts smiles on peoples faces - who can't resist a good animation
Adobe Premiere Pro - video editing..... I found it to be very challenging.
I thinks its because I have to put myself into the 3rd dimension.
Project planning is key with this software.
