What image program are using?

Besides fireworks or photoshop what programs are you using to edit pictures or graphics, Thx

I used to have Photoshop, but upgrading that bugger got expensive, so I used an ancient version for many years. Still a fantastic and useful program.
However a house fire was "kind" enough to turn my computer into a lump of plastic and every program I had with it.
Unable to purchase a new version of PS (no insurance - eek!) I turned to GIMP. The good news: It's free. The bad news: if you're used to PS there's a big learning curve. Things that should be intuitive and easy if you've used PS for years...just aren't.Maybe it's just a problem of getting used to a new program, but if I could dump GIMP I would.
I've also used Paint Shop Pro. That program used to make labeling my buttons and creating mouseover images super easy.
However my be-all-end all graphics program (in the past at least) was Flash 4 (back when it was owned by Macromedia). Not for editing photos but for creating brand new graphics. While I could never get the hang of Ilustrator (trying to move the line handles around drove me nuts), Flash made creating items and moving them around easy and intuitive. Don't like the shape of your line, just drag it around a bit. Hubby has recently got himself a copy of Flash CC, and seems to like it, but there's a learning curve for him and he still likes the old version better.

  • What exact metals are used in the iPod 5 and what for?

    what exact metals are used in the iPod 5 and what for?

    Hey Connor and Josh, The same kind of metals that are found in pretty much all electrics. Aluminum, Gold, Copper, Solder, (I would guess lead free). You will also find plastics and resins, glass and Li-ion, carbon, and silicon. Why do you ask? If your thinking of stripping one down for the metals, it's not worth it, there so little in there it will cost you more to separate the metals than there value by weight.  Cheers.

  • What port numbers are used when creating temporary queues

    Using the following code as an example, what port(s) are used when creating temporary queues? Is it a range of ports? Is it random? And is it configurable? If you have any insight on this, please let me know. Thanks.
    QueueConnection con = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
    QueueSession session = con.createQueueSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
    TemporaryQueue replyQueue = session.createTemporaryQueue();

    The only ports I know about are the defaults ports:
    JMS 7676
    IIOP 3700
    Are these the only ports that are used, even for temporary queues?

  • What defaults Ports are used by UCM?

    Hi All,
    Could anyone please let me know what all ports are used by UCM and their purpose. Appreciate you help on this. Thank you
    Thanks & Regards,

    UCM:16200, IBR:16250, IPM:16000
    You should be able your ports easily if your run the WLS console (server:7001/console), search under Environment - Servers
    What's their purpose?
    Each application is a separate J2EE application deployed on an app server, listening on a different port. UCM is the content repository, IBR is a conversion server, IPM is a module designed for imaging

  • What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performanc

    Dear Experts
    Plz tell me.
    What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performance point of view.
    Like Proper indexing and table assing to specific tbalespace etc

    Oracle manuals would do the best for you. There is no step by step rules for tuning the database , had this be true , then Oracle must've write a programme , application or sql script to achive it . I would advise you to go through oracle performance and tuning guide .

  • What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro

    What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro?
    Like added transisions and such.

    Start out here where you'll find tons of top quality FREE plugins made by some very creative folks.
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
    The only "must-have" plugins I'd recommd are "Slice X" by CoreMelt, and "Nattress Levels & Curves" from Noise Industries (FX Factory).
    Everything else is just eye candy.
    I advise my students to not buy plugin until you actually need them for a paying job, and have that work pay for it.

  • What PDF settings are used when creating DPS articles?

    When you create a PDF file using Acrobat Distiller or InDesign you can modify settings such as font subsets, image down-sampling and compression which will have an impact on the final file size. Does anyone know what settings are used when articles are rendered in PDF format in DPS and can the settings be modified? Specifically, what type of compression is applied to images? If I were to place two images on a page, a png and a jpg with medium quality, would they be embedded in the PDF as is or re-compressed in another format and/or level of quality?

    Thanks for your help.
    So images placed in an InDesign retain their original file format and are unzipped when the article is loaded in the app.
    I'm assuming that if compression is applied to the original image files it can have an impact on performance. If you were to use jpeg files in a document they would need to be unzipped and decompressed. I've read other forum posts that suggest the iOS jpeg decompression engine is too slow to present a fluid user experience in a DPS app. The combined processing time of unzipping and decompressing jpegs files may steer me towards the png format.

  • What Security programs are compatible with MFF?

    have researched and found no answer. just others finding their newly downloaded security programs are not compatible with MFF also.

    What do you mean by security programs? Many modern anti-virus (MSE, Norton, etc.) will continue to work no matter what browser you use. Or are you meaning the security toolbars that some anti-virus come with?

  • What IP Ports are used for continuity?

    In my company WLAN the IP Adresses are seperated. With IP/UDP Ports are used to communicate within the continuity functions?
    Thanks

    Great, actually, I found this information, and would like to re state my question. Now that I know what ports I should be using (this is described in detail in the hardware manual for the E series), I would like to see some definite information about what I must do in my external device to make use of these signals.
    I'm a little confused by some comments in the documentation that some of the facilities of Port C (on the 8255) are only avialable if I use register level commands (as if using the parallel port). If I use the DIG_Prt_Config and set to handshaking (input) on a port, then I assume I set up my external hardware as if Port C was in Mode 1(input), and then follow the timing described in the E Series manual.
    It's just a shame that everything o
    n the PC side is well described, but there are no application notes that I can find about building an external device that can use the handshaking signals.
    If 'you' (anyone) can confirm what my assumptions, or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it greatly.
    Thank you.

  • *** How do I FIND OUT WHAT Font we are using???*****

    I did a past and copy and I really liked the font - I did a right click to open fonts and went back and forth between the fonts that I had and the font that got pasted and the FONT box did not show what the FONT names were.
    Any idea on how to find this out?
    Thanks

    I am asked that often by my publisher friends.
    All you have to do is DRAG down the FONT box so it shows more fonts.
    Right now you probably have it on it's "default" size (show fonts), but if you enlarge the show font box, and then go "back and forth" between the two fonts, you will see the fonts that the program is using.
    Hope this helps.

    If the copy is from the internet, 9 times out of 10 it is going to be Arial or Verdana.

  • What photoshop programs are supported by Mac OS X v10.4?

    I was hoping to download elements 11, but it's not supported. I don't want lightroom...I'm not really sure what my options are- I'm looking for something as recent to elements 11 as i can... does anyone have any tips?

    I think the last versions for that OS are PSE 9 and CS4, respectively. It's a moot point, though. There is no way to buy these versions any more orther than a used license from someone else...
