Photo Shop Help

Hey Everyone,

I have recently been trying to find a good program for playing around with my pics, I need one that will allow me to add text to the photo and crop it as i choose. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Microsoft Picture it 10 is a good uncomplicated image editor

www.gimp.org/

Gimp is said to be like photo shop only free. Ive never used it i have photoshop from what ive herd it will get done what needs to be done. Might not do all the stuff photoshop does but have herd nothing but good things about it.

Paint.net is AWESOME

Does anyone have any experience with Adobe Photoshop? I have it on my computer but have no idea how to do the things I want to do...lol

I use Photoshop, and only Photoshop.

why don't you shoot me a PM and let me know exactly what you're trying to do, and i'll write you up some instructions on "how-to"...k? :gj:

yep what you looking to do?

I want to crop my pictures, but i want to be able to crop out the background on some of my snake pictures. For example if you look at my aviator picture I would like to crop out the background and replace it with another color or background.

I would also like to put a water mark on my photos, with my logo. Along those same lines I want to add text to pictures.

Nathan - I will defiantly like your help!!

true watermarks are difficult, but you can "stamp" your images by creating a new layer, putting your logo on that, and reducing the layer opacity to the desired level.

With digital images a true watermark is a digital signature on the file, which cannot be removed. I believe it's actually embedded in the pixels, so even if you copy/paste it still persists. It's a license you have to purchase, also.

Those should get you started. Also all those sites have tons of links to other and so on.

Do you have Photoshop Elements?

Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are two different programs.

I have been doing some research and have decided that I am going to purchase Photoshop Elements, it seems to be the one that best fits what I want to do to my pictures.

Also after looking further into my own program, I only have the album starter and not an actual photoshop. ekkkss...
