You didn't say what you use today to edit your images. I do all of my own cards and simply use Photoshop to print the cards. You don't need any "special" software if you are comfortable with your current image editing software.
It sounds like you already have the program. Do you currently use PS or PS Elements? IF PS, you are good to go. I don't use PS Elements, as I have PS CS, but I did use Elements several years ago and it was a "Lite" version of what I am used to.
IF you want ease of use and the ability to do TONS more things, try Avery's (yes, the label people) Design Pro software for Mac and PC. It is FREE along with the free templates built in! They give you the templates for just about ALL of their paper products including multiple greeting cards. Once you figure out how to use this software, it is EASY! You can use as big a file (resolution) as you want. There is a bit of a learning curve until you say "OH! I get it!"; then you are on your way. Once you get a format going that you like, you can bring up a previous card, delete the image, add a different image, change text and formatting, and save as a new file, copy between cards, etc. You can print right up to the highest resolution of the printer you use. Did I say the software was FREE?!! And once you have the software, you can use it on probably hundreds of templates for Avery products. AND if you are using non-Avery paper products, you will still probably find an Avery template that will work just fine. Goggle Avery or maybe Design Pro to find this incredibly versatile FREE software. It's kinda like getting a razor (software application) for free and then buying their razorblades (paper products).
This is not crippled software!
Your end results will be as professional as you can get!
No, I do not work for Avery...but I am a believer!

I do use PS, but I have since found greeting cards to be a part of PS Elements as well.
Again thanks,
