Photo editing software for 2004 G5?

2004 G5 doesn't have Intel, what recommendations for photo editing outside of iPhoto do you suggest? Adobe Elements 2?

Graphic Converter 6 for your version of OS X.
If you upgrade the OS to OS X10.5 Leopard, Graphic Converter 7
Plus, Adobe has its complete CS2 suite of apps available as a free download, now.

Free photo editing software for Macs & PCs?

Hi folks!
I am looking for a free photo editing software to use for an upcoming class. I have a MacBook at home, but I will be teaching in a classroom equipped with PCs. I was hoping to find a free software that students could practice on in class and then download free for use at home afterward.
Have been trying to download Gimp 2.8.2, but I can't get it to install on my Mac OS 10.6.8 - It downloads but will not start.
Please let me know any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

i guess i want something where you can directly play with the images...cut out a section of the picture.....replace it with something else (like add icon/pictures over top of it)
also, the ability to paint colors over the picture and alter them in other ways, not just image quality or resizing it...
if there are no free programs for this, what are some cheap ones?
i looked at the programs that have been posted alreaedy, and i don't think that they are really what im looking for...
thank you!

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.

Photo Editing Software for the Intel Mac

I've just gotten a Nikon D50 and am trying to figure out what software to purchase to use on my Intel Imac. Obviously something that runs natively would be ideal, but "good" performance would be enough. I'm just an amateur photographer looking to improve my pictures.
Aperture is pricey and has gotten mixed reviews. Nikon is coming out with new Capture software next month (NX I believe), but it doesn't look like it will run natively on the Intel Mac.
Photoshop Elements might be the ticket, though of course it won't run natively now. It will, I believe, allow for "spot" editing, something that the still-beta Lightroom won't do, and something I think I want to be able to do.
Should I consider Boot Camp and PSE for Windows? Would that be a better experience than running the Mac version on my Intel machine? Looks like there's better pricing on the Windows version (at least on Ebay) than the Mac version, but so far I have resisted Boot Camp...hoping to stay out of the Windows world as much as possible.
Is there something else I should be looking at?
I know I'm all over the map here...I'm kind of confused, and just want to get to work making some of these pictures look better. Thanks.

I have a similar question. I don't think I need all the power of Photoshop CS or GIMP, but is there a photo editing package that can change backgrounds of photos? For example, change a black background to white? Can iPhoto do this? Can Photoshop Elements run on iMac Intel? Can PS Elements do this kind of editing? Thanks.

Best photo editing software for HDR and Blk and white? Thx!

This is my first mac and new to photo editing.. I was wondering what Software I should get for photo editing? I found the HDR function on my iPhone and love the pictures that it takes... I wanted to get more out of my nikons and do some HDR editing and black and whites..In the past I would just print no editing.. I am also not a computer person so please excuse my lack of terminology for this topic. I just found out that i need plug ins for the different programs!Thanks for your time and feedback

Here's the catch:
I am also not a computer person
But Photo Editing is a very "computery" thing. There are lots and lots of options. Some are very easy to use but not very good. Some require learning and are very good indeed. I suggest you explore Photoshop Elements which you can read about here
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html
There is a learning curve but there are lots of tutorials and support material at the Adobe Site.
You can also download a free trial there.

What is the best photo editing software for newbies

Would you recommend Photoshop elements for a newbie to Apple platform.
Have editing background but not very proficient in Photoshop.

iPhoto, which actually comes free with your Mac, does some basic, yet powerful things in photo editing.
I recommend Aperture because it does two things very well. First, it's like iPhoto in that it organizes photos, which is a separate App when you enter the Adobe ecosystem.
The second thing is that Aperture is extremely powerful in editing photos. But more than that you can purchase even more powerful plug-ins that have Photoshop counterparts. In other words, you can grow with Aperture from powerful photo editing/organizing tool. And as you need to get into other things like HDR editing, you can buy plug ins from photo software developers like Nik Software.
I'm a huge fan of Aperture, and I've done some cool things with it. There are huge philosophical debates between how Aperture deals with editing imaging and how the Photoshop world does, but you're a "newbie", so Aperture may be your best start in life. It's very Mac-centric. Apple supports it. And frankly, the support community here is probably one of the most vibrant on all of Apple (other than the film editing ones).

Best photo editing software for iPad?

Is Adobe Photoshop the best?
I have a picture where the subject is holding a wine glass which covers part of the chin. I'd like to remove the wine glass and touch up the chin so it doesn't show that the picture has been edited.
All suggestions welcomed.
TIA.

Sorry...
Meant Adobe Photoshp Touch.
Anyone?

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.

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.

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.

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,
Hunt

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.
http://www.gimp.org

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.

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.
