If I were you, I'd get the brand your friends have. Maybe you can borrow their lenses!

Sigh. Yet another discussion about Ken? Sigh... so here's my 2 cents again.
 
My advice is that you should NEVER read kenrockwell. I do not think he has a deep understanding of the craft of photography and has a lot of false information which he think he's right in his dreams.
 
For the entry camera questions, get the cheapest camera you can get and invest on lenses! A "capable" body will get eclipsed by much beter ones in a few years but a good lens will remain good!

That's good advice, the same advice Ken Rockwell gives!

Here's a good place to find out about the difference between the D5100 and the D3200.

Alright, so Nikon it is. Trying to decide between a 5100 or a 3200 now. Both are similar priced currently. Any ideas?

5100 is a better performer. That gets my vote.

Alter saturation, hue, contrast, etc.  Basically improve colour and appearance.
I'm new to this stuff, so excuse my lack of vocabulary.
Straighten out pics, crop.

You can do all of that with a free program called Gimp. It's a good way to start learning about photo manipulation. If you are set on purchasing though I think both programs will do what you want, but NX2 should be able to read your photos better (assuming you are using a Nikon and shooting in RAW). Photoshop can be used more as a pixel editor for doing things like fading two pictures together which I don't believe the NX2 can. Anyone here use NX2 that can chime in and give us a better understanding of what you can actually do with it?

Yes I shoot with a Nikon D90 (I've owned it for about a year) and have justed started to get into shooting in RAW a couple of weeks ago.
So I am really green when it comes to shooting in RAW and manipulating photos.
