Image Editing Software

[KenKill75]

Other than the obvious PhotoShop, which is rather expensive, what other image editing software can you all recommend?

[Bruce]

I use the 8.5 version of this until I upgrade. I think it's great.

[KenKill75]

Cool. That looks pretty good. I was also looking at Photo Explosion Deluxe 2.0

I wouldnt expect you to contribute any actual information, dion. Thanks for nothing, as usual.


Anyway, here's the homepage for that other software I was looking at:

To be honest, it looks kind of weak. You will probably find that you will rarely use the features they discuss. Unless you are into making greeting cards. :shrug:

i had to get photoshop, but i doubt you'd need everything in it.

Photoshop Elements may work for you as well ... it's only like $90.00:shrug:

[KenKill75]

Yeah, I was considering Elements as well. But im feeling like a cheapskate and not sure if I even want to spend the $100. :byrche:

[dionysusolympus]

buy a box of 100 Crayolas for $5...

[Tzarina]

well, what byrche said, or how about Paint Shop Pro? It works pretty well and it's pretty cheap, i may be able to transfer you the demo software :shrug:

or let me see if there is someplace to download from... brb.

Cool. I'll check it out in detail later. Does it allow you to do layering and stuff?

- I believe so...take a look at the screenshots. There should be a link named screenshots on the left side. :up:

[KenKill75]

Do you use that program?

[Keith Moon]

Do you use that program?


- No, I use Macromedia Fireworks.

[Pudie]

I've heard good things about Gimp. It's supposed to have a lot of the same stuff although I think you need to download a few as add-ons. It's open source as well and theres one called GimpShop which is Gimp made to look like Photoshop. Although I think it might be for mac.

[Pudie]

Ok .. Mac and Linux

Well, my brother managed to "borrow" a Photoshop CD from his job, and he came over and we installed it on my computer. Seems pretty hard to use so far, but i'll keep experimenting.

- What version of Photoshop did you "borrow"?

[KenKill75]

7.0. Not the newest, I know, but the price was right. :dance3:

[alarment13]

gimp is prob the best you are going to get for cheap, other than stealing photoshop, which i did. all of my open source homies say that it can do anything that photoshop can do. i always doubt them, but it is good for free software

[dionysusolympus]

it needs more lubricant...

why is it not working?

[Keith Moon]

why is it not working?


- Not working as in not downloading correctly or the program itself?

[EtchedInCold]
