I need help! Photo editing software question

I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Ghz processor, OS Leopard 10.6.8. I'm looking for a photo editing program (not photoshop, preferably cheap or free) that's easy to use and produces really good looking pics. Any ideas??- Thanks

Your very welcome
Give it ago and see how you get on, it's free so even if you don't like it, it's not cost anything other than time.
Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say

  • With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
    Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Single App - $19.99/month
    Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
    If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.

  • Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Need A Photo Editing System--which Is Good?

    On June 22nd my iMac decided to die out on me--I'm still hoping to get it repaired or if anything my data recovered.  My former computer was still running on the Tiger edition of Safari.  At the same time that I got that computer five years ago, I had also gotten a i800 Microtek scanner that came with PhotoShop Elements (version 4) and an HP Photosmart C3100 All-in-One printer. 
    Just yesterday I got an entirely new iMac with of course the OS X Lion edition--so now the scramble to find out if things are compatible---for instance--would my photo scanner still be compatible?  I'm almost 100% certain the Photoshop WON'T be compatible and was all set of thinking of getting the newer version (Elements 10) however, I was reading the reviews here by others and none seem to be happy with it---the "regular" Photoshop is out of question for my budget --so-what about Aperture?
    Also--I'm one of the few people who DOES NOT have a digital camera!  Yes I still use a 35mmfilm camera thus the reason I got the photo scanner in the first place to scan to digitze my images....so will scanned images from film work in Aperture (and/or iPhoto)???  I REALLY need some kind of photo-editing software!
    Okay and while I'm at it---how about that printer of mine?  It too was designed for the Tiger edition so therefore I'm assuming it's not compatible either--any recommodations and do I need to get a new printer--which kind?  Please remember I'm on fixed income so my budget is rahter tight (to put it mildly)
    Will appreciate feedback!! And thanks!

    why are you using EKBE? this is the PO history, means it has the good receipt and invoice receipts etc.
    So if you maintain a batch number in PO item, and the PO has not yet any history, then it is obvious that this PO will not appear in your query.
    Use EKPO table if you refer to the batch number in PO item.

  • I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

    I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
    Product: D110a all-in-one
    OS: Windows XP Professional
    Error messages: None
    Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
    The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
    IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
    When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
    least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
    It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
    out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
    Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
    printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
    trunk is a round, solid object.
    I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
    I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
    how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
    I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

    Hi everyone,
    I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
    Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
    Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
    connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
    Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
    Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
    INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
    eth0="dhcp"
    eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
    eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
    No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
    But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
    Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
    Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
    brazzmonkey,
    you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
    Use, f.e., netcfg:
    Comment your old lines.
    In /etc/rc.conf insert:
    NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
    DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
    In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
    First one is named  Eth0-dhcp.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION="ethernet"
    DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
    INTERFACE=eth0
    HOSTNAME="your hostname"
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
    Second one is named Eth1-static.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='whatver'
    INTERFACE='eth1'
    HOSTNAME='hname'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.0.10'
    GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
    DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
    The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
    Hope it helps.
    mektub
    PS: netcfg must be installed.

  • What graphics/photo editing software do you use with dreamweaver?

    I just purchased Dreamweaver CS5 a few days ago.
    I'm using the demo version of Fireworks CS5 and have played around a bit with the demo version of photoshop element 8.
    I'm wondering if I would be able to do everything with photoshop CS5 that I'm able to do in Fireworks CS5 and photoshop elements.
    Guess I could ask this question in the photoshop forum, but I really wanted to hear from developers and designers that use dreamweaver too.
    What would you suggest to use for a graphics/photo editing program.
    Thanks,
    jp

    Thanks for the input so far.
    Here is my thinking. I have used free html editors for years. Mostly first page from http://www.evrsoft.com/.
    Then I decided to try the demo of dreamweaver after reading about the new integrated CMS support.
    After just a couple weeks of using dreamweaver I purchased it. I like dreamweaver much better then the free editors I have used over the years.
    So onto graphics/photo editing software. I have also used simple and free photo editing programs over the years. I have decided to try and learn not only more code, but also try to gain some graphic skills.
    Most of what I would be doing would be graphics for the web, but I also need some kind of photo editing tools.
    So do I buy just fireworks CS5 and use it for not only graphics, but to also edit photos.
    Do I purchase both Fireworks and photoshop elements 9 or should I spend a little more and go with photoshop CS5.
    Is photoshop CS5 more stable then fireworks or photoshop elements?
    I'm running windows 64 bit system with a i3 and 4 gig of ram with duel monitors.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Photo editing software using Flash Lite

    Hi all, I had been searching for an answer to this question
    for quite some time and did not find any. Please help. Is it
    possible to create a photo editing software using Flash Lite for
    Nokia devices? Am expecting features such as brightness, contrast,
    cropping, save and load function, etc... I am not expecting to
    create it myself, but outsourcing the development.
    If you know of any good development house, please let me
    know.

    I've used GIMP for years, which is a powerful photo editing program.

  • Other photo editing software for the Mac

    Couldn't really find a category to put this question, so please bare with me. I have read some stuff about iPhoto (any version?) sometimes giving problems. Was wondering what other kinds of photo editing software is good to use on Tiger. PhotoShop Elements etc.? I have a Sawtooth 400mHz with 620MB of RAM. My Tiger is the original release: 10.4, but plan on updating to a newer version shortly.
    Thanks.

    To add to Larry's list: take a look at Pixelmator also.
    These are some of the system requirements for iLife 08:
    "System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor.
    iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster). iMovie HD 6 can still be used and is preferred by many of us.
    iDVD requires a 733MHz or faster processor.
    512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended. High-definition video requires at least 1GB of RAM.
    Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later.
    3GB of available disk space.
    DVD drive required for installation.
    QuickTime 7.2 or later.
    Burning DVDs requires an Apple SuperDrive or compatible third-party DVD burner. "
    It doesn't look like your G3 meets the system requirements. You may be able to install some parts of iLife 08 but I'm not sure. Do a search in this forum for "G3 and iPhoto" or other similar search criteria to see if others have been successful.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I currently have iPhoto on my new 27" 17, iMac. What is the best photo editing software. I have photo shop elements on my previous mac which I liked many features.

    I currently have an imac 27", i7.  I have iphoto on this computer. What is the best photo editing software to purchase or download?
    On my previouw mac I had Photo Shop Elenemts and Photoshop CS3. Both of the later had features that I liked.
       I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

    I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
    I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
    http://roaringapps.com
    Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
    And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

  • I'm looking for photo editing software

    I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo.  I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom.  What is recommended?

    For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
    There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
    Good luck,

  • Which Photo Editing Software?

    Hey guys first post here...Im looking to buy some photo editing software for personal use and could use some help in choosing the right one.
    Im not sure wether to go with PSE, Photoshop, Lightroom etc (other options?). I may get more serious down the road but for now all Im looking for is basic functionality, layering, color swaps, artistic effects and all the basic touch up stuff.
    My price range is around $150.
    Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

    Lightroom doesn't do most of those things, and the full Photoshop CS5 is out of your price range, so give PSE a try. Download the 30 day free trial from Adobe and see what you think.

  • 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 am looking for a good photo editing software, only editing, not sharing etc

    any recommendation for a good photo editing software for starters, only to enhance picture, play arounf with colours in black and white background etc.

    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Best photo editing software.

    Looking for advise on a reasonably priced photo editing software which is simple to use for cropping, resizing etc.
    Tried GIMP but found it way to difficult.
    Thanks

    iPhoto which is already pre-installed on your comp. 

  • Photo editing software

    Hi
    I have a Mac which I purchased in July 2010 I’m sure it’s running snow leopard. Will I be better off upgrading to the latest OS or staying as I am? The reason I ask is, I am looking into getting some photo editing software either Aperture or Photoshop Lightroom (is Aperture better for Mac?) to move up from the next level of iPhoto. Now I have never had a problem with my Mac in the three and a half years since I have had it and don’t want to do anything that will slow it down or mess it up. Any suggestions would be most welcome. My Mac is: iMac, Intel Core i3, 3.06 GHz, 1 Processor, 1 Core, L2 Cache (per core)  256KB, L3 Cache 4MB, Memory 4GB, Mac OS X version 10.6.8

    Aperture and Lightroom are made by Apple and Adobe, respectively. Both are higher end photo management apps for cataloging your photo library. As you note, both are quite a step up from iPhoto.
    You can do some editing in both, but nothing like an actual image editor. Photoshop, as Klaus1 mentioned, is expensive. For around $70 online (like at Amazon.com), you can get Photoshop Elements. About 80% of what the full PS app can do for far less. PS Elements does remove CMYK color support.
    Pixelmator does a lot for not a whole lot of bucks. GIMP is an open source editor that does much of what Photoshop does, and it's free. Like PS, GIMP has a large learning curve.

Maybe you are looking for
