What do you use to edit?

[Kay]

Ok, I'm tired of using Picnik...and my Adobe isn't working ):
What other good editing sites/downloads are out there?
Thanks!

[Tessa]

To answer your question, I use picnik..sorry can't help you there.

For most people, Lightroom will "do it all" and, if you can get a student version, costs about $120. GIMP is good, powerful, and free, but not the easiest to learn.

I use a mixture of Gimp and paintshop pro photo x2 (thinking of upgrading to x3) between them both I have pretty much all I need

[melissa]

I use Gimp, Photoscape (both free) and the online free version of picnik.

@picturelover101 I use Paint.net, it's free and windows based. I've heard it works much like photoshop but haven't used photoshop to compare it to. I've tried GIMP but like @jinximages says it can be hard to learn and the tuts are hard to follow. I've used Paint.net for almost 4 years and really like it. The only problem I had with it was I couldn't get it to open RAW files. If you don't use RAW files then you might like it. It's a download and you can get the lastest verison at www.getpaint.net Hope this helps.

photoscape and gimp are great and free, but i use Adobe Photoshop

[Glendq]

I use cs3 and picnik
tried gimp and some others but these are fine for me right now.
i tried lightroom free for a month i think and did not like it better then cs3

[Preston]

i use picsa and i love it

[Kelsey Schmitt]

I use picasa like Preston, it's great!

[Tricia Hunt]

Photoshop all the way!

[Paul Kelly]

You can get paintshop pro x3 free for a month

[Nikkers]

I use photofiltre. great free program.

great user friendly program.

[Ashley]

paint.net is free, not the best, but works great for a free program

[TJ's World]

GIMP and PhotoScape....both are free online....GIMP is very much like Photoshop, without the 100 dollar price tag.

[Cyndi]

LR3 and PSE9

[Danae]

I use Aperture and Pixelmator, but both are Mac-only. The two together form a killer combo for those of us who want to avoid Photoshop.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it very much...I am actually downloading GIMP right now as I am typing this! I will tell you guys if I like it(:

I have used just about everything but settled in with Photoshop a long time ago and still use it. Sometimes I think I could use something less and then end up using Photoshop Essentials - version 9 works fine for me but I always click on Photoshop.

[Ramona]

Most often I use Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge. Some times I use Photoshop Elements. I recently purchased Lightroom, but I haven't had a chance to install it yet.

My students had an assignment to critique free photo editing sites and their favorites were Picnik.com and Photoshop.com

[Christopher Byrd]

CS2 and LR3. for HDR I use Photomatix. And for panoramas I use PTGui.

[Stephy]

I used picnik, picasa and lunapic :]

[Vicki Kell]

@ukdanae how do you like your mac? im going back to school, university for my bachelors in nursing, i am a RN now, my passion is photography. i'm considering a mac, they are expensive though, do you like the programs that come with it or have you bought more photo programs, can you tell your likes and dislikes

[3nder]

Photoshop + Lightroom 3 for RAW conversion/editing

GIMP is a supposed free version of Photoshop, but ive never used it

[Sarah White]

Apart from picnik I also use GIMP which is as already mentioned free and there are plenty of tutorials to help you out.
