My compute came with Adobe Photo Deluxe.  I would like something else.  I like the way poeple are able to do captions, make arrows pointing to a specific spot, or able to cirle or form a box for the same reason.

 

What is good and are most of these programs updatable after purchase.  I am not an internet genius, so something that is okay to use by a borderline idiot would be good.

photoshop is reall good but it has tons and tons of features.  i have been using it for a long time now and i still find stuff and go, whoa!  Plus, if you pay for it, it is extremely expensive.

 

but if you want the best of the best, then photoshop is the way to go.

I agree Photoshop is the best, but it's as expensive as h***, and has a lot of features that are really only used in very specific apps, or by pros, so you pay a lot for many features you will never use - probably.

 

Pain Shop Pro is very good (I think they still have a shareware version you can DL for free), and even if you decide to buy it, it's reasonably priced as I recall.

 

I have used www.tucows.com

 

as a general reference and repository for shareware software, and I am sure there are probably better ones than that out there in the ether.  They do have a section on graphics and imaging software.  

 

In case you're not aware, the name tucows comes from the way they rate software - by the number of "cows".  

 

Good luck!

I have PS Elements that I got at Costco for 50 bucks after rebate.  It has many of the great features of PS, and leaves out mostly everything your average user would never touch.

A decent compromise.  50 bucks for Elements, or 500 for full blown PS.  

I'm happy with Elements.

Photoshop but I am a beginner.  Also have JASC PS PRo I believe Version 7 (show how much I use it.  I find that sometimes software gets so complex (read that as good) that I dont learn it very well.  I am better off with lesser programs that I use more.  As for photoshop, you need to sit down and go throuh the tutorial beginning to end.  Get a book on it.  Devote some time.  Thats the only way and as Siilt pointed out, you still learn stuff  long after you own the program.  As for you guys offering "free" software.  Shame on you.  I would never do that. :thumbs:

Ahhh NewbieZ71 the saint........ :thumbs:

 

Seriously though, Photoshop is pretty darn good.  If you are just looking for a photo editor, take a look at ACDSee, very cool program.

 

However, if you are of the downloading variety, try this sight

I use PhotoShop CS3. It's expensive but it is the best. I use it for all of my websites so it is worth it to me. I can see how it might not be worth spending the cash if it weren't business related. Go to download.com and download some demos. You can find something that works well for what you want for much less $$$.

For people that don't want to pay big $$$ for CS2/3 or any other Photoshop program. There's always The Gimp. Almost all the functionality of Photoshop, and it's free, open source, and has stacks of extensions. Even a couple that make the user interface identical to Photoshop.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
