Photo Editing Software

Photoshop CS3 for me!

 

I prefer Paint Shop Pro but I use Photoshop sometimes too my versions of both are sooo old!

 

I like photoshop, but that's probably because i use it everyday at work and i'm used to it.

 

I use Photoshop, Photoscape and GIMP

 

Photoshop CS4
Wacom Intuos3

 

Adobe Photoshop CS4. I'm thinking about getting Lightroom eventually, too. I'm pretty lazy, though, and CS4 manages everything that I need, so it'll probably be quite a while before I get around to getting Lightroom, anyway... XD;;;

 

two freebies: Picasa for most stuff now, good for mass edits of simple things like cropping. I used to use the Gimp a lot which is better for dodging and small edits, but much slower to get through a wad of travel pix meetups etc.

 

Photoshop CS4 and Illustration with a 6x11 Wacom intuos 3 tablet c:

 

photoshop cs4. and occasionally macromedia fireworks. no tablet, sadly

 

Photoshop CS and a tablet. For quick touch-ups Windows Live Photo Gallery paired with paint on Win-7 provide very nice and easy-to-use tools (plus - it's free)).

 

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.6
Adobe Photoshop CS2

 

I use photoshop cs3

 

I used to use paint shop pro a couple of years ago (not for doll pictures though - so i can't say how good it is with that) but i use Photoshop CS2 now and i'm sticking with it It's got layers, so you can edit and delete according to what you want. It's really good with colour changes and tones, and theres a whole bunch of photoshop brushes available for free download to add sparkles or whatever you want to the picture. I also use a tablet because it has pressure sensitivity.

 

I use a combination of ViewNX, UFRaw and Adobe Photoshop CS3. ^^

 

Since i'm really not a big fan of paying for photo editing programs (though I would love a photoshop...) I'm so cheap, that for editing my doll pictures I mainly use Photoscape and GIMP.
Photoscape is wonderfull, and free. It has alot of details, you can change the main color in the picture (make it blue-ish etc.) and alot of other effects for free! You can even sharpen up your images and alot of other things.
And for changing colors and all that GIMP is just my cup of tea, exactly said.

 

i use picnik ^^* hehe i know...but it works great!!

 

Photoshop CS3 since it's free from my school! I used to have a tablet but it died T.T

 

Paint Shop Pro all the way! Occasionally photoshop the versions I have of both are really outdated like versions from 2001 but do the job fine

 

I use Lightroom 2 for narrowing down which photos I like best, or if I'm making minor edits. For major editing I use Photoshop CS4.

 

For major editing, I use PS CS4, but minor ones, like resizing, cropping, I use photoscape.

 

I'm using an older edition of Photoshop... 6.0, iirc.

 

I use to use PSP7 and loved it.
Now I am using GIMP2. It's taking some getting use to since it is not as user friendly, to me, as PSP, but it has some very nice photo effects.

 

I usually use Photoshop CS3, but I've also dabbed in CS4 (since my college has it).

From what I can tell, they're pretty much the same photo-editingwise. I'm thinking CS4 just has some extra stuff (probably for animating GIFs) along with layout differences.

So I'd go CS3. :3

 

Photoshop elements. It's cheaper, and has all the bits of photoshop it need

 

Photoshop CS3
and occasionally, for quick fixes like image size, Photoscape

 

Gimp! It can be frustrating trying to figure out what is what since it is basically photoshop with everything renamed but it works really well.

 

i use photoshop CS3.

 

I always edit my photos in camera raw using bridge first and then do final touch ups in photoshop. Shooting in raw mode allows you to edit so much more. I believe in the newer versions of photoshop/bridge you can edit jpegs in raw too which is handy if you don't want to clog up lots of space using .raw files.

 

I don't have any good photo editor....so I use http://fotoflexer.com/ it's got alot of pretty good features for a free online site!

 

I use Photoshop Elements 5.0, but I find sometimes I don't like certain effects, so I use both that and GIMP. PSE5.0 came free with my tablet and GIMP is free software so it's inexpensive awesome photo editing!~ xD

 

For any pic, I tend to start off with Picasa, then if I need anything else, I do Photoshop Elements. But, if you have good settings in your camera, it can help minimize how much you have to edit after.

 

I use Photoshop CS2.

 

me too, photoshop is the best *___*

 

I use photoshop....i like useing the quick fix section!!! = D

 

I use Picasa 3, and some Gimp. Picasa actually has a lot of pretty good features, I've never had Photoshop so I just make do with what I can get

 

I use Photoshop CS2. But I've started to use GIMP more and more.

 

I use Photoshop CS3, and I totally love it
It is really worth the money, if you need a professional editing programm..
Well it isn't that easy to handle with, but I really learned to get used with it, watching youtube tutorials and blaah.. and now I love it ♥

 

I use gimp 2.6.3, but I don't edit my photos very often. ;P

 

I use Adobe CS3, it's pretty easy to use. :3

 

Switched to Photoshop CS5, because CS3 doesn't work with my camera's RAW images

 

I use both Photoshop CS4 and Photoimpact 12 Special Edition. There's something I like in Photoshop that Photoimpact don't and vice versa.

 

Photofiltre... :s

 

I use photoshop.

 

Well I'm learning how to use my photoshop right now and really like it, so I guess I would recommend that. Not much experience in anything else.

 

Hi guys! I am getting ready to set up a BJD photoshoot for a friend. I usually use film for certain photoshoots, but I still get the pictures put on a CD for digital use. I've been out of the scene for a little while and I know there are tons of editing programs out there. I was wondering what program would be best...but relatively cheap.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would be best?

I have heard that G.I.M.P. works similarly to Photoshop. And G.I.M.P. is free.

 

Seconding L Mikia, GIMP is your best bet if you want a free program. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 is only $80 and has all the features you'd need for photo editing.

 

You could also try Pixlr. It's free, and is basically a water downed version of Photoshop, but has basically all the same features.

 

Nik Software is great and very easy to use in Photoshop.

 

I use Photoshop Elements [I got that from a friend though and as it is Adobe I don't want to know how much it actually costs. >.>] and I recently started using Corel PaintShop Pro X3 and I loooooove it. It's easy to use and cheaper then some of the other things out there [Under $100], excluding the free things of course.

 

Like I said above, Photoshop Elements goes for about $80.

 

You could also try free software from camera companies. I used Olympus Viewer 2 (though it came with my camera). You can probably download older versions through the website.

 

GIMP is a really good program. I used to use it before I got Photoshop. I also have a friend who has Picasa (which I believe is free) and loves the program.

 

picnik is really good.
I have photoshop CS5 and still use picnik for quick editing.

and the good news is, you don't even need to download anything to use it, it's a web application.

you can also pair it with photo hosting like flickr, and all of your photos will be instantly hosted (I use picnik paired with flickr)

A good and inexpensive Photoshop alternative for Mac OSX is Pixelmator. While not as powerful as Photoshop, it'll fulfill most of your photo editing needs, and the $30 pricetag is incredibly reasonable.

Also, if anyone is a college student, check for discounts on Adobe products through your institution if you think you might want them. I can get Adobe CS5.5 Design Standard for $200 (instead of $1200) and Lightroom 3 for about $100, so I'm definitely planning on upgrading before I graduate.

 

I got Adobe CS 5 thru www.academicsuperstore.com and qualified for the student discount because I was taking continuing education classes at my local city college. They have Photoshop Elements 9 for $55 and Adobe Lightroom for $69.

 

iPhoto is a fairly simple, yet capable tool to do all the ordinary editing (cropping, resizing, adjustments, that sort of thing). Plus, it provides you with a very useful photo library to sort your photos.
It comes free with every Mac.

 

I use Lightroom 3 and photoshop CS5, but Gimp is really great for filters and basic corrections! The next bet would be Photoshop Elements!

 

If you can I'd advise you to use photoshop CS5. This is really good for everything.

 

I've been playing in Photoshop since I was 14 (I'm now 25) and that is what I use for... everything. I'm running Photoshop CS3 on one computer and CS5 on another. However, on my personal computer (where I mostly edit) I stick with CS3 since I have the Master Collection.
