Uchiha Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 [align=center]Still using MSPaint? Think Photoshop is too expensive? Want a Photoshop Alternative? Try these Photo Imaging Softwares. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3lnQrEGE1I&feature=related]Photoshop Alternatives.[/url] [b][i][u]GIMP Overview [/u][/i][/b] [b][u]File Formats [/u][/b] The file format support ranges from the common likes of JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, TIFF to special use formats such as the multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files. The architecture allows to extend GIMP's format capabilities with a plug-in. You can find some rare format support in the GIMP plugin registry. Thanks to the transparent virtual file system, it is possible to load and save files to from remote locations using protocols such as FTP, HTTP or even SMB (MS Windows shares) and SFTP/SSH. To save disk space, any format can be saved with an archive extension such as ZIP, GZ or BZ2 and GIMP will transparently compress the file without you needing to do any extra steps. [b][u]Customizable Interface[/u][/b] Each task requires a different environment and GIMP allows you to customize the view and behavior the way you like it. Starting from the widget theme, allowing you to change colors, widget spacings and icon sizes to custom tool sets in the toolbox. The interface is modulized into so called docks, allowing you to stack them into tabs or keep them open in their own window. Pressing the tab key will toggle them hidden. GIMP features a great fullscreen mode allowing you to not only preview your artwork but also do editing work while using the most of your screen estate. [b][u]Photo Enhancement[/u][/b] Numerous digital photo imperfections can be easily compensated for using GIMP. Fix perspective distortion caused by lens tilt simply choosing the corrective mode in the transform tools. Eliminate lens' barrel distortion and vignetting with a powerful filter but a simple interface. [i]Barrel Distortion[/i] The included channel mixer gives you the flexibility and power to get your B/W photography stand out the way you need. [u][b]Digital Retouching[/b][/u] GIMP is ideal for advanced photo retouching techniques. Get rid of unneeded details using the clone tool, or touch up minor details easily with the new healing tool. With the perspective clone tool, it's not difficult to clone objects with perspective in mind just as easily as with the orthogonal clone. [b][u]Hardware Support[/u][/b] GIMP includes a very unique support for various input devices out of the box. Pressure and tilt sensitive tablets, but also a wide range of USB or MIDI controllers. You can bind often-used actions to device events such as rotating a USB wheel or moving a MIDI controller's slider. Change the size, angle or opacity of a brush while you paint, bind your favorite scripts to buttons. Speed up your workflow! [b][i][u]FotoFlexer Overview:[/u][/i][/b] FotoFlexer API uses standard Javascript to embed configuration parameters and instantiate a loader. All Javascript and application files are hosted by FotoFlexer.com. The integrating site instantiates FotoFlexer by specifying an image url, callback url, and optional logo url. When launched, FotoFlexer loads the image specified at the image url for editing, and displays the logo specified at the logo url for a more customized experience. After a user is finished editing, and clicks the "Save" button, FotoFlexer will store the image, and then make an http request for the callback url, passing the new edited image url as a parameter. This sequence is illustrated to the right. [u][b][i]Paint.NET Overview[/u][/b][/i] Paint.NET is free image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.

ShadowKyogre Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Okay, this might not be related...but using a portable app compactor can drastically cut the time needed to launch a portable program (such as CS3). Sure it only reduces the file size by 20ish MB, but CS3 opened within seconds after I did this. The compactor can be used for any program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's faster, CS3 doesn't run that badly on my OLD laptop, which means CS4 should run pretty well on my new one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
