> I don't do anything serious in photoshop, just basic image correction, > cropping, and resizing. Are there any alternatives?
Photoshop Elements is really not a bad alternative if you don't mind spending a small amount, it does all the stuff that the average person really needs in terms of photo editing, and supports most PS plugins/filters as well. If you ever decide to move up to Photoshop, you'll not have to get adjusted to a totally different interface. PaintShop Pro is another popular graphics package in the same price range, but is a bit more of a fringe product and has its own quirky interface. If you want to go cheaper than these, I use ACDSee for my digital scrapbooking work and would recommend that highly....it's one of the best digital management software programs available for its price, and has decent basic photo editing built in. Another suggestion...if you've ever thought of getting a wacom tablet, check into the Bamboo Fun. The small size is around $99 and comes with a copy of both PS Elements and Corel Painter Essentials....the previous version of these, but still a really great deal if you plan to buy one or the other anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:249043 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
