rich951   10 #2 Posted August 1, 2007 What software should I get?  There are a number of very good software packages out there. Most popular for obvious reasons are the free ones! A number of these are listed here. Initial comments are mine, I've tried to keep them objective but please let me know if they could be improved! Also shout if any of the links don't work...  Free software  GIMP - the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Available for many operating systems, but notorious for its interface - you'll either love it or hate it! Picasa - from Google, Picasa is a photo organiser as well as editor. Prides itself on being easy to use yet powerful. Paint.NET - Windows only but many advanced features (layers, effects, plugins etc) and active online community. IrfanView - simple interface, great for batch conversions of photos. Also reads most RAW files through plugins.  Retail software  Adobe Photoshop - The industry standard. Amazingly powerful, but amazingly expensive too Adobe Photoshop Elements - Much cheaper, and still has most of the tools that most people would use. Paint Shop Pro - A traditional sensibly priced alternative to Photoshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
