paint.net is free and pretty good
photoplus from freeserifsoftware.com is too
there's almost a zillion more too...but I kinda stick to my ole PS6
my Publisher 2003 came with MS Digital Image suite as a bonus and that's
not bad either.
but you gotta have IrFanview (freebie)
the tools I use most are;
PS6
Xara Xtreme Pro (vector graphics)
IrFanview
MS Expression Designer (currently beta, and currently only vector)
|I occaisionally need an image/graphics editor with more power/features than
| the basic photo editor that MS gifted me with. I don't use one often
enough
| to warrant buying and learning Photoshop. I'm basically a programmer
rather
| than a designer. I do have a demo copy of PaintShop Pro7 that I used to
| customize some website buttons before it expired.
|
| Is there a better choice in terms of price and ease of learning? I am
| willing to trade some money for ease of use issues as long as it has
enough
| power.
| Thanks,
| Tom
