Photo Editing

[davinda]

With all the photo editing software out there, what is the best ? ease of use being the main thing for a begginer. cheers.

[Jonne]

it depends on what you want to do with it.
do you want to resize the pictures? Put all sorts of filters on them? what?

[ooo]

ummm ifranview is nice... go to downloads.com n get it... free...

I use Photoshop 6. But I've been using Photoshop for a good number of years now, so I'm not sure how it'd compare to someone just starting out.

[DataMore]

Photoshop is very good but it's huge on size. :o
Paint Shop Pro can do what Photoshop does and it's smaller. ;)

[ooo]

eh i still say ifran view... simple... but no editing... well cheap editin... lol... i resort to paint

w/ my cheap computer! lol

[MagicNakor]

Not so. Paint Shop Pro can do some things Photoshop does, but not all. And it seems at a lesser quality too.

:ninja:

Edited to add: There's more to Photoshop than photo-editing! ...I sound like the Abdobe Acrobat ad.

[MagicNakor]

Yep. For simple editing, I like Paint too. :D

Adobe Photoshop is easy for the most part ;) ,

File:Adobe Photoshop 7.0.rar

You don't want to use Photoshop 7. It silently registers back to Adobe. Tracking-like.

:ninja:

[The Great Dude]

Ok then, Paint Shop Pro:

File:Paint Shop Pro7 Setup.exe
Length:33554896 Bytes,32768KB
UUHash:=WhJiN5al6zAhdxdAYSFBIb34YEQ=

Or MS Paint, it's easy and basic. :-"

I use Uleads Photo Impact 8....not for beginners though. I just installed PhotoSuite by roxio and believe it is what you are looking for....simple interface, ease of use, and still maintains good editing protocols.
Went back to Ulead though.

Also you might want to try Uleads photo express as your first choice!!
I have several friends that are novice users and this is their preference.

cheers,
Steve

are you sure?
i use it, and i don't see anything wrong with it...
but if you're really paranoid, you can always block it with a firewall...

[davinda]

Thanks peebs for all your advice, spoilt for choice are'nt I. ;)

Bloody amazing though, I've just discovered Microsoft Photodraw which comes bundled with Office 2000, and it looks pretty dam good with a nice tutorial. Its only been on my PC for the past 2 years, what a twat. :lol:

Photoshop is the best but its not very easy to use

IrfanView is pretty amazing for a freeware editor. but GIMP does nearly everything Photoshop does, and its free too!
