Well to start off I am a bit shocked that I would actually post in this forum since I do much photography anything, but I saw this article and thought for the photography people that these useful programs would help.
Photo Editing Tools So now that you taken you awesome pictures with that 10 Megapixel $700 digital camera it is time to clean them up and bring out the quality of those photos you have taken, and so we need some software that will help you out in your needs. So first up is" Gimp If you don't know about gimp software then you need to go check out the gfx forums a bit, as this would be one of the top graphics software on the market after photoshop, fireworks, and Paint Shop Pro. Of course I think this would be the right program to use after dropping all that cash down for the camera. Download Gimp| Price: Free Photo Pos Pro I have no idea so I will let this quote explain what this program does: QUOTE With photo editors, usually you can have one of two choices--either simple or powerful. As a general rule, the more simple the interface, the more basic the program, and the more powerful the program, the more complicated the interface. Photo Pos Pro does a great job of balancing power and usability. The interface is clean and simple, with all of the editing tools laid out neatly along the sides and the top of the main screen, which shows your photo. Hover your mouse over an icon, and a balloon tip will tell you exactly what it does, although in many instances the icon is self-explanatory. The array of editing tools in Photo Pos Pro is mind-boggling. Every automatic-editing tool you could want is right there, from the basics (such as red-eye reduction) to advanced functions that automatically sharpen or blur images, make them warmer or cooler, add frames and special effects, and do many other tricks. You get drawing tools as well, plus the ability to work in layers. If you want powerful editing tools within easy reach, this application is a great choice. XnView It's free what can I say besides the the fact that if you haven't gotten a better version or something more powerful Download XnView | Price: Free Saint Paint Studio It's another photo editing software it costs $40 bucks and you can have a trial version, again if you have something already but want to test this out knock yourself out. Download Saint Paint Studio | Price: $40 (Trial) Image Resizer I thought the photo editing software won't stop, anyways the title should say it all but it seems instead of doing individual photos you can do large amount of photos in one shot. Which means it can save you time especially if you got like 2-300 photos you want to put on your website or photo gallery to show your friends. Download Image Resizer | Price: Free FxFoto 2.0 NOOO!! not another one.. Download FxFoto 2.0 | Price: Free Cleanerzoomer I would have to say base on the description that this program would be bonus to have once you finish running it through a graphics program. Since it will clean up the stuff you missed in the first round of cleaning up a digital photo...I guess the descript would help for a better understanding. QUOTE Have photos that need to be fixed? I don't mean something simple such as red-eye removal, but more complex problems, such as moiré patterns and other artifacts, overall noise, and other frustrating imperfections that afflict digital photos. If you're facing such challenges, give Cleanerzoomer a try. It can also sharpen edges, automatically adjust color balances, remove white spots and other artifacts, and a lot more. You also get a remarkable amount of control over photo fixing--in fact, for some people, maybe too much. For removing artifacts, for example, you'll find a wide variety of options such as setting filtration levels and weight measurements. Still, with a little experimentation, you'll be able to clean up even the dirtiest-looking photos. Download Cleanerzoomer | Price: $35 (shareware) Since the next group of programs is album organization I just list them since it would seem somewhat obvious what these programs do, if not I will have a link to the original article for you all to enjoy. ACDSee 10 Photo Manager photo organizer | Price: $50 (shareware) Roxio Media Ticker | Price: Free Comic Life | Price: $25 (trial) Although I will note that the Comic Life would seem like an interesting program to use for kids photos or for an action still like driving on the road or something. InAlbum Deluxe | Price: $55 (trial) MemoriesOnTV | Price: $50 (demo) On another note, if you remember during your school days of the slide show on the big projection screen, same idea but now you show them on TV and that way everyone can see them. Photoscape | Price: Free Collage Maker | Price: $28 (shareware) A collage making software YEAH!!, nothing say coolness then a collage of digit photos you have taken, elementary school memories right there. I believe college photography course still do that for an assignment. So now that you have a list of software to start out in either your amateur or professional photography career it will help get the most out of any photo's you take. SOURCE |

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I have some friends that always take lots of photos, but they never get time to add them at their page. (It takes so much time to resize them.) So I think I am going to download that software myself - and share if with my friends.

Is the Gimp software compatible with Photoshop?
I'm running a trial version of Photoshop and I'll have to buy something soon, just wondering if Gimp can use the same file types and do most of the same things as Photoshop? Steve |

Thanks for Sharing. Because I only know is The Gimp, the very powerful image editing tool that helped me out in editing my pictures and other images. Well, why dont you include Picasa 2 by the mighty Google. Picasa 2 has substituted my The Gimp from editing my pictures/images. It's a very wonderful tool.
Cheers, Amiel |
