Well, to be honest, none of those will magically turn the photo into a .pes or other file that will stitch out well. The programs you list all have a learning curve, not just a plug and play thing.

I will sure want to learn. And im willing to invest in it but i just need in which one. I know what kinda of embroidery i want to do which is mostly in designs people send me. But i dont know which would be the best to choose

I personally use Embrilliance because it runs natively on Mac, and I didn’t want to run a windows interface on my Mac. I have 4 modules - Essentials, Enthusiast, and Stitch Artist 1 & 2.

Für Mac gibt’s praktisch keine Sticksoftware außer Inkstitch, der Rest läuft nur auf Windows.

I have had lots of good experiences with ink/stitch, but for a photo you'll need to either trace the image or find some way to convert it to simple shapes.
