View Full Version : Software to Edit Pictures CockneyMafia 10-08-2006, 13:39 I am sure you guys have all seen the mock ups of famous movie posters (eg Harry Pothead, Saving Private Fat Toungue) where famous people have been edited into well known movie posters. What I was wondering is what software is used to manipulate or edit these existing jpeg files? Any help appreciated. simondjuk 10-08-2006, 13:41 Adobe Photoshop i think or something very similar torin8 10-08-2006, 13:43 Photoshop will probably be the software of choice. If you can't afford that you can use Paint Shop Pro - far cheaper and does about as much or if you really want cheap go for 'The Gimp' it's free :) CockneyMafia 10-08-2006, 13:49 Photoshop will probably be the software of choice.

Have you got a URL for this? torin8 10-08-2006, 13:50 Try http://www.gimp.org/ simondjuk 10-08-2006, 14:22 or you could try Picasa. You can get the free version from the Google home page and clicking on More. Ive got it but not really had a proper go so im not sure what it can and cant do.

Very limited i noticed, but nice for a freebie when i had it. Get a free trial of adobe or paintshop or something, you can just do the 30 day trials on loads of different ones. Cheeky, but they had it coming doing free trials Cayenne 10-08-2006, 21:57 The Gimp came from Linux and has been ported over to Windows, that's why it's free. It is good but complicated to learn with an unusual interface. BUT it will do just about anything with photos if you are willing to learn.

Mind you it can be a bit tedious to learn first time round, but have a look on here (www.good-tutorials.com) for some nice step by step tutorials. matsalleh 11-08-2006, 19:44 Some good stuff on here http://www.mediachance.com/dce/index.html Free stuff, trials etc |
