You mean have fun with pictures like this?

I use PhotoImpact by Ulead
It's a reasonable price, easy to learn and has great reviews. It's so good, I even stopped using my paid for, legal PaintshopPro.

YEAH! EXACTLY LIKE THAT!
I got these things running in my head and no way to release them.

LOL
Thanks........Rick

If you want some fantastic free editors, go to Nonags
To quote them "The Original & Best. Genuine Freeware Site - Since 1995"
You're bound to find a good editor (and other software) there. They test it all before putting it on the the site. I get a lot of my freebies there (it's a great place, I even bought the lifetime membership for added goodies

)

Very Nice info.

What version of photo impact do you use?
8.5 PRO is about $100 usd
Thats all I find in the big stores. Ebay 25-35 for v8
Thanks for the site.

I've got PhotoImpact 5 (old as the hills) and XL installed on my PC. I'll use both off and on, depending on what I'm doing. The GIF Animator is one of my favourite extras, I think it's included in all the PI versions.

Great! So v8 should have extras too.

Thanks..........Rick

Hilde, you really, really, really need to go back to school.

Such talent should be generating income....

Adobe Photoshop Elements can be had for less than $100. It is almost as good as the full Photoshop program. I have both and I feel that Elements is easier to use for beginners than Photoshop anyway.

thanks Big Mike.
Thats one of the many ive been looking into.

Does PhotoImpact have decent pixel editing features now?

I used to use it years ago for web graphics and it was absolutely essential for buttons and widgets because of the vector graphics support.

But it was pretty useless as a pixel editor.

Photoshop has a 100 dollar version that's got everything you need as well. It's only lacking the stuff required for print-setters and high end pros.
