Mac Photo editing software
« on: 01 October 2017, 03:39:14 pm »
Thinking about wrapping my belly pan as it needs some loving now. Wondering what it would look like wrapped.
Others have photoshopped paint schemes so thought i would give it a try. Whats the easiest software to use on a macbook for someone who uses about 5% of the stuff on there mac!!

It is. You want cs6 ideally. There are other editing packages but photoshop is the best in terms of ease of use and features.

Photoshop is available for Mac, but they've switched to a horrible rental system which gets expensive.
Photoshop Elements is a more economical offering, but the version I tried proved to have a completely different philosophy and I never got to grips with it after the nice intuitive interface of Photoshop 6 (it was awhile ago).
I opted for an app called Affinity which seems to be highly regarded by those in the know and is a bargain compared to Photoshop CS. It looks powerful, though I've not had time to get used to it... all I can say is it has quite a steep learning curve!

yeah i found photoshop, but its only a free trial. Mind you i only want to do one picture. Got the phone app, but seems really basic or i don't know what I'm doing.
Ill keep looking.

Yeah you typically get the free trial then.... Make it a non trial version...

You could always try GIMP. it's free

Agrees P/S Elements is so limited it's almost useless. Tried Paintshop Pro not very excited about that either, ok if you happy accepting their fixes and templates for doing things. One of the best bits of software I ever had was given free years ago with HP printers trouble is it would only work on Fat16 platforms. So I am stuck with Paintshop Pro and an illeagle copy of Photoshop that's I am not and nevet will be happy about installing.
