I made the photo collage below back in 2003 on some photo software my dad had.
I want to make a new version with pics from the last four years added to the set. I also would like to have a program to do more (in general) with my pictures--for instance, I am also interested in doing some digital scrapbooking.
I like picnik.com (free to use, is online, and interacts with flickr) and have used picasa (free to download, interacts with blogger but not flickr). But, I want more than just making a picture lighter, darker, controlling red eye, cropping it, and so on.
I'd like some reccomendations on what software I should check out for manipulating photos.
What software do you use? And, what do you think about it?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I can't look at the collage above with out my heart swelling with thankfulness for all God has done in my life to change and shape who I am. How I long to glorify Him in all I do!!!! He is such a wonderful, marvelous God!!
How very undeserving I am! I am eternally grateful.
Hi Amanda -
I am a digital scrapbooker -and I really like Adobe Photoshop - it is a great program.
Best wishes!

Hi Amanda..
I use Photoshop....it is a great program and has everything you would need to do what you want. Photoshop Elements is around $100.00; Photoshop CS 2 {3 is coming out the end of this month} is a full blown program for a lot more money.
Have fun.....BTW you can do a search for a free Photoshop trial download to see what you think.

Well, as a graphic designer, I naturally use Photoshop and I love it. I am also pretty familiar with Macromedia Fireworks, which is less powerful than Photoshop but still does all the basic stuff. It's also $350 cheaper. :-)

So I was thinking about it further, and I remembered that there is a freeware program called GIMP (www.gimp.org) which is similar to Photoshop. I've never used it, but I know people who do, and they love it. You might want to check it out before spending money on something else!
