Photo Editing Programs?

gabriel_fernando · Jul 23, 2007

Hi friends,
I am trying to find a good photo editing program. I do not know what I need to look for. Can anybody tell me what some really good programs are?

Thanks in advance!

Have you read this board at all - or done a search for reviews?

What do you want to do with the photos?

If you don´t know, and want to learn something moderately useful, then I can only suggest you get Photoshop Elements...about $100.
It does just about everything, meaning you are ulikely to ever need to get anything else. It´s basically the industry standard (the Pro version is $800 or so and doesn´t do anything extra that you will really need)

Don´t worry about free programs...there are lots...you will probably end up more confused than you already are.

I would have done a search, as you have to imagine this isn't a very unique question.

However Photoshop Elements is good for base photograph work, and of course Photoshop CS3 is better. Picassa can do minimal photoretouching, and GIMP is supposed to be very good - these two used together may well satisfy your needs.

I wonder when the companies will actually learn. That post makes us not want to go to that site. No one speaks like that casually and no one on this forum puts double line spaces in their posts.
