Rendering images or making them look better

Guys I'm putting together a sales package for a potential client but our company has dated information and screenshots.

I woudl like update the content and I did. now I have these great images that look SOOOO boring within the body of my PDF. What program can make my image look really nice.

I was thinking the fade affect etc..

Any idea on how I can make the image POP a little more?

 

If you could show us what your working with I'm sure you'd get some better guided responses.

 

true, if we see it , we'll have a better idea of what can be done to make it better.

 

You can add fade effects in photoshop, if that's what you're looking for.

 

photoshop, illustrator or inDesign but you have to understand what you are doing.
i guess for image effects photoshop is the easiest.

or you can even use Microsoft word / power point....2007 version has all the features you need.
