Post subject: | OT: Picture editing software |
At the moment I'm using Picasa for my pics, but I just really don't like it. What picture editing software you all use? I take it I'd have to pay for something thats half decent rather than be able to download one for free. (I'm cheap you see ) It's only for general use though, so doesn't need to be all singing, all dancing. |

Hi Conrad I actually just use the camera software to edit resize my photos (ACDSee) I also have photoshop that is all singing and dancing but my daughter (graphic designer) has to come over now and again to tell me what all the buttons do. |

Yesterday I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, for Aus $129 (=UK £56). It is significantly better than Elements 4, although it would be nice if the way to do some things were a little more direct. I like its charcoal background, like this board. The sharpening algorithm seems a lot better than V4 and earlier, which was poor. Possibilities for fancy text effects, and buttonising and framing images are much expanded and improved on V4. I may well still use the freebie Hewlett Packard "PhotoSmart Premier" that came with my previous digital camera, for re-sizing and re-touching photos for web posting, because its simple and quick compared to PhotoShop Elements. At the same time I also bought Serif PhotoPlus 11 (Aus $155 = £67.40) although I haven't got round to installing it yet. Peter. |
