I need some advise on buying some software for my pc so I can edit photos etc.
I want to be able to crop photos, get rid of red eye, improve the colour etc - basic to intermediate stuff, therefore I do not want anything too complicated.
hi You dont have to buy a photo pack . Go to go Google packages ( use your serch engine ) look fore GOOGLE PACKAGE or PICASA 2. Down load Picasa it a very good pic editing program .Iv have used it for 2yrs now and once you get used to it it is so simple.
Hi 'buzzyb' ......I would also recommend Picasa ....and 'doc spock ' is not right (although there is a feature to post pictures that other people can access) .....photos that you have on your PC that you have processed with Picasa cannot be accessed by other people....(unless they hack into your PC of course)
Stay away from your Photoshops as they are very complicated. If you have a digital camera, the softwear that came with it should have some sort of basic programme.
You dont need to be on line to use Picasa . what i love about it is it will find all your pictures on your PC and automatically place them into pacasa so that you dont have to spend hours searching for your pictures
If you want a good, basic photo-editing programme, which also can email your pictures and keep them in order, you can download Picasa free. It is a google programme and should get you started.
Then I would recommend Adobe Elements. Not too pricey
but you would have more control.
I really need the "dummies" help and at this point in time am not sure which is best ie PICASA or Kodak.
To take this a bit further I have stored all my photos on an external drive. When I download which ever software where do I save it to - my c drive or the external drive??
