Thanks for posting this valuable info, Dan. I’m bookmarking it for when I can carve out some time to check it out in detail.
@Marilyn L. Geary. I’m glad you found this useful. Thanks for letting me know. Always appreciate hearing from my readers.
Photoshop confuses me. There seem to be so many options from Lightbox to Elements to the full blown version. What are we talking here Dan? Elements?
Broadening the question a bit: there are so many image editing programs out there is hard to know where to start. I agree Photoshop is the benchmark but is it really that far ahead? I’d be interested in your views.
Thanks for a stimulating and always interesting blog.
@John Payne. Thanks for your comments, John. I’m by no means an expert on Photoshop. While it tends to be the premiere photo editing program, there are others out there. A free alternative is “GIMP” which comes highly recommended. My approach is to decide what are my basic requirements and then find the simplest piece of software to meet my needs.
