I am needing advice with what photo editing program to begin with

I need some starting point with all your programs that I can buy one to start with and learn on. What would you suggest. I'm am wanting to learn so bad!! How to edit my pictures, play with them and things like that. Then as I learn I can step up and graduate to a harder one but I need the learning basics first. Please help me!!!

Download the trial of Photoshop elements 10 and use it free for 30 days. You can start off using the Auto buttons to improve your photos and then use the quick edit and guided edit sections. The Full editor can be used as you get more advanced knowledge of all the tools.
Use the link below.

Photo editing program suggestions?

I need to add a photo editing program to my Macbook Pro. Is Photoshop Elements a good choice? I know it has video friendly presents to work in non-square pixels. The Windows version I've seen wants to catalog every bit of media on your computer, could this cause a problem with Final Cut Express every time you create a render file or something?
I've also heard about The Gimp, a free program that you download in pieces. Is it hard to configure? Probably no non-square pixels?
Any other suggestions?

Elements on the Mac is a very good editor for the price. It's different from the Windows app in that it's not a manager, just an editor. It can be used in conjunction with it's Bridge, iPhoto or Aperture as an editor for their organising capabilities.
Someone once described Elements as 85% of the power of Photoshop for 15% of the price.
What's missing? Some bells and whistles, sure, but principlally CYMK support - of no interest to video editors

In need of a photo editing program

I am in need of a photo editing program. I currently only have the iPhoto library and and whatever comes HP products Imaging software and Image capture. What do I need to get iPhoto or iLife. I am more interested in the photo editing more than anything else. Please let me know. I currently have 756 MB ram, dual CPU's 500 mhz and 60GB memory. Thanks. bj1350

The later editions of iPhoto - especially v6 or v7 have much increased editing powers. Also, some others to check out"
Photoshop Elements
Graphic Coverter
Acorn
Seashore
there are many, many others. Search on MacUpdate.

IPhoto is the lamest photo editing program ever!

Is it just me or is iPhoto the lamest photo editing program ever? I had photoshop elements on my windows machine and was happy my new MAC came with iphoto & iMovie. Now that I have tried to use it I find it doesn't do much in the editing department. Infact Picasa has more editing features.

So instead of helping me out you insult my intelligence? You are pretty brave over the internet. So why does Apple advertise their computers coming with all the software you need.
iPhot: iPhoto gives you everything you need to do everything you want with your photos. Keep them organized and easy to find in lots of different ways. Use powerful yet simple editing tools to perfect each shot.
iPhoto isn't even a "good" photo organizer. Picasa is better at organizing & editing and is free. So don't blame the price.
So I guess if I were as smart as you guys, I would ASSume that iMovie doesn't really edit movies either, just organizes them right? This was the only thing I hated about moving to MAC. Apple Fan boys are very annoying.

Photo editing programs?

At the moment i am using iphoto and I am searching for a new photo editing program that enables you to edit and change the photo but also keeps the original. Also with iphoto you can crop the image but it wont save, it will revert back to the original size, why is this and are there other photo editing programs for mac os x available?

After applying the Crop you must click on the Crop button before clicking on the Done button.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photo editing program

Am new MacBook Pro user looking for a god photo editing program - I used Paint Shop Pro on my former laptop and really liked it. Don't really want PhotoShop but not sure what would be the best one to use on my MBP.

Hi d,
IIRC, Photoshop Elements has a good trial period, and then if you like it and need to use it enough, it should be worth it to purchase.

Are there any photo editing programs similar to the ipad

Are there any photo editing programs similar to the ipad?

Never used an ipad. Why not try the iPhoto forum area?

I would like to purchase a simple photo editing program for my mac which will enable me to write on photos

What photo editing software is everyone using and why?

I am trying to find a good photo editing software to use and before spending any money on it would like to hear everyones opinion on what they use and why? Originally I intended on purchasing aperture ... but I am under the impression that aperture is being discontinued so now I am searching again ... thanks for everyones input in advance....

If after trying out iPhoto's editing capabilities for a while you find you want more capability give Adobe Photoshop Elements for Mac a try. It's reasonably priced and can do about 75% or so of what the full Photoshop can do like these:
There's a free, open source application that's a lot like the full Photoshop: GIMP for Mac. Another full featured editor along these same lines is Pixelmator.
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Pixelmator - $60
GIMP for Mac - Free
So there are a lot of choices out there to investigate.

Ibook and what photo editing software?

I am ready to purchase my new digital camera this weekend. I don't have any photo editing software on my ibook as of yet. I know CS3 will work fine on my ibook. Does anyone have CS3 on their ibook/powerbook, and how does it do? Thanks!

spag,
Well if you use CS3 it comes bundled w/ Photoshop Bridge which I find to be just fine for my needs.
My clients that are pro photographers use either Light Room or Photo Mechanic but they shoot in RAW format. One who was just in India had just switched to PM and was rhapsodic about the speed and all the things you could do in that program.

I just signed up and paid for one a one year membership to ACC. But now the screen is asking me to pay for the photo editing program. What did I buy?

I'm having trouble figuring out what I signed up for.
Any help will be most appreciated.

How do I set up a wirelss music system with a MacBook Pro? Need advice on what to use: Bluetooth or AirPort. I don't have speakers yet. I listen mostly to classical music. Any advice on what kind of speakers?

I live in a small apartment and would like speakers in the bedroom and the living room. I like the "all-in-one" units. Would two of these sound better than one in the living room? I have a wireless modem from my phone company, but I have not hooked it up yet. What is AirPort and is it necessary to do what I want to do?

If your goal is to have a "whole home" audio experience, then using separate speakers in both the living room and bedroom would the proper approach.
If you decide to go the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) route, then you would need a minimum of two of these devices; one each for each room. The AX is a wireless Internet router with built-in audio. The AX's audio port supports both analog and digital optical audio output and will work with either self-powered speakers or an audio receiver that supports either connection type.
Classical music has very fine dynamics and, of course, the better the speaker, the better the sound reproduction. However, you don't need to go overboard as the AX is limited to the audio files that iTunes can play.

Need advice with video editing from iphoto to imovie, or something else.

ok, here's the deal. I have about 1tb of videos(in raw iphone straight to iphoto format), about 3k of them. I took a few vids a day for a year or so. They are all in iphoto right now but i need to take each days vids and put them together and export that in a smaller format. I need to do that for each day of the year. But it's a nightmare trying to get the vids from iphoto to imovie. Is there an easy way? I don't want to do major work to them, i just want to put them all together and have 1 vid file. So say I have 3 vids on jan 1st in iphoto, I need to move all 3 to another app, put them together, export the single file, keeping as much of the quality as I can, then I can delete the original raw vids and move that single file back to iphoto.
So instead of having events with lots of videos inside them, 1 event per day, 1 video.
any ideas on a quick and easy way to do this?

iMovie is the tool for that job and it's video so there are no "quick and easy ways", I'm afraid. The files are huge and it takes time.
What nightmare are you having getting the material from iPhoto to iMovie?
As there is a lot of repetition in the process you describe, have you considered using Automator to try and do some of the heavy lifting for you?

Need advice on what do with new motherboard :(

Back in January I ordered a P67-GD53 MSI motherboard from this company - www.ncix.com
I installed the motherboard and drivers, things were working fine, until I noticed windows 7 would not boot up
sometimes, It would hang at the welcome screen. The problem kept getting worse, until I could not boot up at all.
i took my tower into a company called "Microbytes" which did a diagnosis. They said the "hard drive controller" on the motherboard was defective.
Should I RMA the store I bought the motherboard from, or directly from MSI ??
AND I realize the motherboard I bought is defective - the SATA 3Gbs port will be replaced by Intel eventually. If I RMA this motherboard now,
does that mean I'll just end up getting a new defective motherboard ??
Thanks for the advice....this is my first MSI motherboard, and it will be my last. I've never had these issues with Evga or Asus. :(

Keep such useless comments to yourself. EVGA and ASUS have RMA departmens, too. Also, how can you be sure that the board wasn't damaged during handling/shipping or because of electrical problems (statical surge)?

Based on what testing methods did they come to this diagnosis?

Did you put one a fresh installation of Windows 7? Or did you take an old installation from another system?

"Not boot up at all" means what? Where did the system hang? Any error messages?
What BIOS/EUFI Version are you using and what else is in your system? Please provide full system specifications! ---> >>Posting Guide<<
