Software list
March 18, 2007
This’ll be the software article then, OK, no points for guessing that I’ll chat away about software here. A list of software appears below:
ACDSee
- I’ve been using ACDSee for years, I have Pro Photo Manager 8. It’s a little slower than it used to be, especially when searching within large amounts of pictures but it’s still king in my eyes for picture browsing. I’ve even started photo manipulating in it.
Adobe Photoshop
- Yep, I don’t need to say much here. I need to learn this. I have a few books and a will grab any of the PS Focus Guides from Future Publishing when I see them but first thing is first learn the camera, learn the techniques then I’ll come to PS. I’ve downloaded the CS3 Beta and will get it up and running when I decide to have a look (I think I get 30 days free).
Corel Paint Shop Pro
- I’m kind of tempted to buy this, I used to use it back in the day (before Corel had its claws around it). I’ve had a quick play for a free trial recently, it still looks the business. Hmmm…
Picasa
- A simple, free photo viewer and editor from Google. Not used much, though. I think you can now share photos with it.
GIMP
- Again, not used much but it could be useful when I start getting serious with photo manipulating. I want to try the fake tilt-shift technique on some of my photos as the effects I’ve seen on other pics are amazing.
Also, I’ve tried a few photo sticking-pictures-together tools but so far I’m either too pants to photograph panoramically or I’ve not found a program that an idiot like me can use and get good results from.
I will be writing up a large list of all my other essential software (non-photography) so keep an eye out for a post on this.
