Photo editing software

[Leigh]

What do you use to edit your pics?

I usually use Photoshop, it's what I do all my websites, and graphics in. But it's a bit of a pain to fire it up for a couple of pics I just want to resize. As I usually have too many programes running as it is, starting that up can bring things to a grinding hault

I am after something really basic and small, I already have all the bells and whistles. My lastest camera software only crops, it doesn't resize.

So thought I would ask what you guys use, saves me looking :Hehe:

WE use Arcsoft software...it has a photo shop etc ...we only do very basic things so not sure if it would suit you.

Kodak software that came with my new camera seems ok...I guess its what you get used to :)

I use Paint Shop Pro - could never get used to Photoshop. I also have Xara, which I've used about twice since I bought it :(

There is a great Windows "PowerToy" I use for quickly resizing pictures - it adds an option to your right-click menu (right click on the file in Windows Explorer and select Resize Image).

You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx - easy to install.

Leigh, I use IrfanView. http://www.irfanview.com/

It's small, it takes two mins. to download, and it is very basic and simple! I use it to resize all my photos, its so quick and easy. :)

I use Picasa which is basic and very easy to use, you can download it and its free. I also use Paint Shop Pro.

I use paint shop pro 7 - I think it is pretty easy to use and suits my purposes.

Thanks girls :)

Thank you Liss, you reminded me I actually had that powertoy installed, and had forgotten all about it, never used it LOL. Just what I wanted something quick and easy.

I use Paint Shop Pro 7, and although I also have Photoshop 7, I prefer PSP.

Just easier to use and quicker to load.

I've got Photoshop as well - I also got PhotoImpressions with my camera which is pretty good as well
