Adobe Photoshop

Post by [JiF][AARP]Tissueman »

I have Adobe Photoshop 5.0 at work. I'm looking for something with similar functionality for home use. Recommendations?

Adobe Photoshop 5.0? Everytime I buy a digital camera, it usually comes with a version of Photoshop on it. You might have one already.
You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

GIMP's a very photoshop-esque program.

It's primarily Linux but it does have a Windows version. I haven't tried it on Windows though so I couldn't tell you how it will work out.

Usually the home versions of Photo Shop are pretty wimpy.
Gimp works great for me although there is a learning curve.
I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. If you are just gonna crop and color/brightness adjust any program that comes with a camera would probably be fine.
I use Gimp for messing around cutting things out of one photo and putting them in another.
The mini animations I have made were done with Gimp.

If you just want to adjust pictures for prints you may find Wal-Mart Digital Photo Manager (Fugi) works great.

You can crop, red eye removal, adjust color and brightness. You can then upload them to Wal-Mart or export them.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Premier Elements have worked great for me for photo and video. Together they are about $80 in most big box stores.

Photoshop Elements is great for casual home use (and not too pricey). The interface is basically the same as actual Photoshop, so if you're used to it, then Elements will be a no brainer.

I'm also a Gimp user. It's extremely powerful and the fact that it's free is quite nice. :)
