Picture editing software

Paint Shop Pro -- http://www.jasc.com/

They also have evaluation versions available at www.download.com -- this is a highly flexible and useful program and not as expensive as some of the others.

I haven't found any all-around "best" picture software. At least not in the under $100 ones that I have tried.

I have several different picture editors loaded, and use different ones for different tasks.

Once you get used 2 it, Adobe Photo Deluxe is a decent all-around program. It is very good at image resizing, and repair. The only thing that really bothers me about Adobe, is they want you to save every image in their format. You have to use the export command to save as a standard format.

U-Leads Photo Impact is also very good. But not as user friendly for some tasks.

Arc-Soft's Photo Studio is the one I like for editing. Especially pixel by pixel editing.

The only task I use MGI's Photo Suite for is printing assorted sizes, and assorted images on a single sheet.

Of course, if you ask 10 people, you will likely get 10 answers.

Hi,

You've asked for the "best" software?

Photoshop (its at version 6 now) is considered to be the industry standard for profesional graphic artists. I use it and its extremely powerful.

Its quite expensive, though.

Cheers,
Tim.
