Pic editor Programs

**KrazyOne** · Sep 10, 2007, 03:18am

Ok first off, I use Micosoft Picture It 2.0 and PSP7 for most of my picture editing. Their oldies I know, But they work the best for what I do. I just got a new Gateway laptop that has Windows Vista. Picture it does not work because I have to much free space (makes a WHOLE lot of sense) and I cant seem to locate my PSP7 code and am getting NO help from the makers of PSP. So I am looking for a new rather inexpensive ($200 USD and under) program that hopefuly does EVERYTHING my other two do. PI I can trace part of an image very easily without having to ERASE the BG, I can do fading, add shapes that I can fade, add and rotate text,ect. So I LOVE that program. I use PSP7 for things such as collages, but not much else. I also downloaded a trial of photoshop CS3 E and liked some of the things I could do that program, like bluring just a portion of the image, and adding texture evenly to the whole image. I did not get enough time ( with my hecktic schedule to play with anything else in the program. I do not know if any of understand what I need it to be able to do. I can post a link to an example of what I do so you can see. But I can not seem to explain it so that people know what I am looking for. If you do understand what I am needing, Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for the help!

Yes, I really like the Paint.net program and the Gimp.

Have you looked over CorelDraw Graphics Suite X3? Average price is $150.00 and it should do what you need.

Or maybe Adobe Photoshop Elements. Average price $120.00 and it also should do what you need.

And of course, you can buy Microsoft Picture it! Premium at most office supply stores, Computer shops and retailers like Target or Walmart. You may have to hunt a little, but you should be able to find it for $30.00 - $40.00.
