    I'm looking for a really high quality photo editing program. I currently have Adobe PhotoDeluxe Business edition. I don't know where that ranks among the photo programs. I've seen a lot brilliantly edited photos on this board, and I'd like to know what some of you are using. Thanks muchly.

    My recomendations in order are the following: Photoshop 6.0, Photoshop 6.0, Photoshop 6.0, Photoshop 6.0, and Photoshop 6.0

    Also ImageReady 3.0 which is bundled with Photoshop 6.0 is great for web stuff (imagemaps, animated gifs, slices, rollovers, compression, ect.) and it has mostly all of the features Photoshop does.

    Oh and BTW: If you are a student you can save 100-200 dollars off retail.

    You want to modify your photos of yourself in in rockets gear at Rocket's games and replace in with Sonics attire and the Seattle stadium, Photoshop should do the job Tweak.

    Photoshop is da bizz-omb, but I prefer Corel PhotoPaint. Currently version 10 is out but I use version 9. I found it super cheap at one of those software close-out online stores...about 40 bucks...

    http://www.9software.com/ dinky website, but supercheap prices...on limited software...

    I also use Paint Shop Pro, for it's ultra nifty thumbnail browser...it's baaaaaad.

    I'm a version behind on Fireworks, but I like it a lot. The interface is very much like Photoshop and it does most of what Photoshop will do (as far as I've noticed, of course). The downside would be that third-party plug-ins made for Photoshop wouldn't work with Fireworks, but I don't use any of those.

    I thought a price around 200 would be reasonable.

    Okay, I have a question: I downloaded a trial version of photoshop 6, and I can't figure out how to scan an image into the program. I have no problem doing that with Photodeluxe. I'm not even going to consider shelling out that much cash unless I am sure that I can scan my photos in. Can anyone tell me how this is accomplished?

    And the same question goes for Photo-paint- I just downloaded the demo.

    Step 1) Buy a scanner.

    ahhh, just scan the image into a folder and open the file "from within" the program:file-open-etc...

    My Scanner has that chit too, but I can't figure out how to scan INTO a program already running..so thats what I do.



    Remember: "From within" ooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Yep, Photoshop & Paint Shop Pro! One for editing, one for management.

    I don't know if the demo disables its, but file/import should give you the opportunity to scan...if your scanner supports twain.

    In Photoshop 6.0 go to file --> Import and then it should have you scaning software listed. It does for me. It might not b/c it's just the demo but idk.
