just be glad unisys doesn't come after you with a $5,000 licensing fee. GIMP doesn't pay to allow development of GIF files, so if unisys finds GIFs on your site that were created in GIMP, they have every legal right to send you a $5,000 bill. ;) The patents on the compression technique used by GIF have expired; the format can be used freely now. |

Hey, There are many sites that provide tutorials for Photofiltre. Really good tutorials: Hopeless Thunder . Over 30+ tuts Thanks! You can always upgrade to Photofiltre Studios, which has layers and other neat stuff. But yes, GIMP is good too. I think I'm gonna do that does it cost anything? |

tbh
I find CS2 easier to use than CS3 or CS4 Try getting CS2 - since it's older, it'll be cheaper. |

Well, honestly, I've used photofiltre before and it sucked. Then, I used photofiltre studios and it was a bit better but it still wasn't great. I haven't really tried GIMP but I heard that it's actually pretty good for a free program. Overall, I do agree that PS>everything but you could also try getting PSP which I once saw for like $150 at this one site but I can't remember. So, I guess since you have a website, you should seriously consider paying a bit more to get PS or at least PSP. Those two are probally the best for myself.

I'm going to wait until this summer and see then if they are going to send it to me if not then I'll have a job and I'll get it myself. I'll get CS4 but THANKS guys/gals for ALL of your help! You may close this topic now. |
