Seems to me it would be worth trying before you blow your hard earned cash. |

I see no reason not to use Photoshop.

They're more geared towards making greeting cards, posters, calendars, etc. Whatever "editing" tools they do posess are severely limited, and geared towards making those sorts of projects, rather than actual editing.

Then again, not everyone needs a "full-range" photo editor... Take a look at http://picasa.google.com - it's easy, fast, has a good compliment of basic editing features, and most importantly, it's FREE. |

Then again, not everyone needs a "full-range" photo editor... Which, I believe, is the gist of my last paragraph - but the "range" of editing tools in most of these "print shop-type" programs is very sadly lacking, and wouldn't come up to most people's standards of "minimal". Take a look at http://picasa.google.com - it's easy, fast, has a good compliment of basic editing features, and most importantly, it's FREE. I've never used it (I use PS myself), but I've generally heard some good things about it, and so might recommmend it far more readily than either of the two programs the OP had listed. As the OP is a user of webtv, there's no way of telling which platform s/he's on (why anyone would use a toy like webtv for newsgroups when they have an actual computer is beyond my ken anyway) but the suggestion [by another poster] of Gimp if on Windows is probably a good one... for one thing, it's free, IIRC. If on a Mac, there are also a number of free or low-cost actual editing programs out there - all one has to do is search VersionTracker for either platform. -- You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. -- Charles A.

... Hi Looking at getting a photo editor. In addition to Picasa, take a look at www.Irafanview.com - it's a free editor with lots of features. The gimp is another free program. Both of these have a lot of elbow room to grow into before you spend any more money. Elements is a good chunk of Photoshop's functionality at about 80 dollars. Picture Window Pro is another full featured editor at about that price. Here's a discussion of PWP by Norman Koren: http://www.normankoren.com/PWP_intro.html -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/ |

Photoshop, even the LE version, has a few more features than PSP, but I use PSP 99% of the time for editing stills. PSP feels like other Windows apps, while Photoshop feels like it was written for Unix and minimally converted to Windows. Also, PSP starts up *much* faster than Photoshop on my 3GHz 1GB dual-HD PC, in spite of 1-2 hours spent tuning Photoshop. I think that if I was editing video, or editing stills 5-10 hours per day, I'd probably go with Photoshop. But for my personal, 5-10 hours per month usage, I vote for PSP. -- Cheers, Bob |
