Steve Randles 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Another one of those "What are you using" topics. There are many software packages out there for full blown image editing and graphic creation, to the smaller by comparison applications that do a basic resize and a few other bits. The industry standard now appears to be Photoshop (I use this), what do you use? There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. - Ansel Adams Focal Planet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newt 290 Posted December 14, 2005 Irfanview for about 97% of what I need to do. Occasional ventures into a more 'full featured' package that I have at home but whose name escapes me and I'm at work just now.

J.K 13 Posted December 14, 2005 Adobe Photoshop CS2 for major work and Elements just for quick touch ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poledark 50 Posted December 14, 2005 MGI photosuite 3 does most of what I want, I find I need it less and less now I have a bright monitor Nikon came with some basic editing but I haven't used it yet. Photoshop is a bit expensive isn't it ?

fisherking 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Though they are easy to rip off the internet and I could get any prog I wanted I still use Paint Shop Pro which is the one I started with many moons ago and I have kind of stuck with it. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NickInTheNorth Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) for viewing and simple jobs like re-sizing I use XnView - It's free! Very similar to ACDSEE but no licence to buy. www.xnview.com For anything more serious I use Photoshop CS and for optimising files for the web I save them from Photoshop using ImageReady, excellent file compression! Photoshop does not have to cost a fortune!! Edited December 14, 2005 by NickInTheNorth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Randles 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Photoshop is a bit expensive isn't it ? Den Well yes it is, I'm fortunate enough to have an licence via a client I do some graphic work for now and again, simply because he does not have the time, all of the time. Works for me.

Steve Burke 177 Posted December 14, 2005 Mainly ArcSoft PhotoImpressions which came free with my earlier Canon camera. I especially like this as it automatically puts 2 pictures on the screen at once so I can decide which one to delete. As I always take several pictues of the same subject this is very handy. For instance it avoids a pic of the captor blinking on trophy shots. Peggy mostly uses ULead PhotoImpact. It's a powerful, cheaper alternative to Photoshop that's had rave reviews - do a Google search and see! Both of us find it easier to use than Photoshop.
