Ok either free or say under $500....

[Jethro]

Need a good photo processing program, that allows chopping of photos, source of light, etc etc....


Any ideas?

So far have read the reviews for Photoshop...


Also best Jet ink photo quality printer..... have no preference for brand


Thanks in advance....

Photochop will be your long and faithful companion, but it retails for $599, unless of course you get an upgrade, academic license, get it at one of those computer trade show things, find it cheap online, etc.

[JungleMan]

You can buy Photoshop or you can get it from my FTP ;)

Seriously you must mean $500 in your money..how much is that in US money?

[thinktank2]

Try Photoshop Elements (USD $99)

Paint shop pro is better then Photoshop, much easier to use.

[thinktank2]

Easier to use doesn't always mean better...

*waits for Linux people to laugh at me*

Example, Easy CD crapper is easier to use than Nero...but guess which one's better...

jETHRO:

Printer = Epson Stylus 1270 Photo!!
Or HP photo smart p1315.

The Differnce between Photoshop and Paintshop is very marginal. PSP only around 100 bucks.

[thinktank2]

Jethro ... are you listening ??

[Beacon]

i think we haver a winner then...

Paintshop Jello!

Hell even go buy Dreamweaver and you get Fireworks thats alright considering i didnt even know it came with it! :p

I find NERO soo much easier, Easy CD crapper is extremely bad.

Eh, you obviously haven't used Photochop for a couple of years...PS is also real easy to use once you've got the basics down, all Adobe programs are like that.

Easy CD Crapper IS extremely bad but of course there's that whole easy to use thing they have going on:rolleyes:

[Gimlin]

PS is much to compilated then it should be thats for sure. True I have not used it in awhile, but thats because I didnt like it. PSP is much easier and just as functional. I do know that a certain level PS goes beyond PSP, but you dont really need that extra boost unless your a professional graphics artist. And the price of PS is insane.

You could always... *Crack the cardboard* ;)

[filburt1]

I agree the price is out of this world, but then again I'd rather not have to crack it if I could afford it

Oh crap, that wasn't too subtle :rolleyes: :p :D :D

[JungleMan]

Stop cracking your knuckles filburt...

Actually couldn't burn an Audio cd last night from Easy CD????

Prefer Nero myself, but that's a personal preference....

Sorry TT2 got dragged away to do some work there....


Beaker PaintShop Pro you reckon ... cool! Will hunt a copy out. Crops photos right....and resizes...and makes milkshakes....

Will have a look at the sites for the printers

Thanks guys....:)

[Beacon]

yep also irons your shirt, cooks dinner etc
oh sorry thats your wife!
;) :p

IMHO Photoshop is without doubt the most superior graphics packae. Period.

However, If you're looking for cheap, PSP is prbly the way to go. Mind you, like Beacon said, Fireworks (free with Dreamweaver) is certainly worth considering.

[Zaei]

There is always the Gimp, which is free, and, from what I have seen (just a few minutes screwing around), it is comparable to photoshop. And again, its free.

especially if your learning asp and php like you said you were in the asp forum a while back?

GiMP...

Because of patent issues with the LZW compression algorithm the installer does not install the ability to save GIF files.

Doesn't seem too promising...:(

Actually that's not such a bad idea.........

[Beacon]

work buying or you??

[beasty1711]

Ulead Photoimpact is fantastic for the money about $90

u can even find hacked version around

i use it more than photoshop and i have both installed

[Martin Wilson]

Photoshop is definately the best...and it only costs if you pay for it.

[numtel]

I use psp7, got it from elite3k a long time ago. i think it's better than photoshop, my photoshop 6.0 has a lot of problems with it. and 5.0 seems to old...

[filburt1]

PS7 is out now...

[numtel]

i know, i dont use ps so i have no reason to get it

[numtel]

forgot to add that I like the animation shop program that comes with psp7
