[WEB4LIB] photoshop

[Cory Stier]

I've used PaintShop Pro from Jasc Software (http://www.jasc.com) for 4 years
now, and have always been happy with it. The current boxed version is $109
US, so it's reasonably cheap.

I've also used both the Linux and Windows version of the GIMP
(http://www.gimp.org/), which I have found to be a very useful and very
powerful package (which is also freeware). The Windows version of the GIMP
can be downloaded from http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/. The only thing
I don't like about the GIMP is that you can't save images in GIF format
because of the issue of Compuserv owning the copyright for GIF. But you can
save images in many other formats including JPEG and PNG.

HTH!

We have an older version of PhotoShop and I've looked at the newer
versions price tag of close to $700.00 and don't as if I can swing the
cash for the addition licenses.  So, I will put out to those in the
know: "What is a good second best?"
We use it for web and print projects so bare that in mind when
suggesting.
