Looking into getting a photo editing program?

Jay

My question is what are some of the programs that are good to use? An if they free or not cost alot?
Thank you for any help you can provide
I have been looking into getting Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 or 12. How big of a difference is they in the 2?

Answer
Citrify, iPiccy, PicMonkey, Ribbet, Picadilo, Fotor, FotoFlexer or Lunapic are great all round web based and FREE editing tools.

Fotor is the best if you use multiple systems as has companion apps for the iPhone/iPad, the Android, Macintosh, Windows and Windows 8. Fotor allows you to edit your photos with a wide range of looks, to add fancy borders, to create a collage or simply fix some imperfections. Unlike Citrify, iPiccy, PicMonkey, Ribbet, Picadilo it is a small download - but well worth it.

Adobe, makers of the expensive Photoshop, has a free website version in Photoshop Express. If you need/want more features downloading GIMP is a great options. Still free, but you have to download the software.

Answer
GIMP is the best free photo editor.
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
Windows download is the first "Download" towards the top. You get the choice of ftp or http. This is a new download method for GIMP and, since I need this new version, I just closed my eyes and picked one:-) I'm downloading from the http site as I type this. There is a lot of documentation for GIMP. There is also a new users manual.

Free video editors for Windows computers are rare things. All of them are limited. The free versions of commercial professional editors (Lightworks and IVSEdits) are picky about the kinds of files they accept and the kinds of files they output. They are also huge programs with steep learning curves.

There are two smaller editors, Shotcut and Avidemux. I've never used either one of them but they are supposed to be suitable for beginners to intermediate users.

Scroll down and on the right under the downloads links see the note for Windows 8 users.

What is the best android tablet for image editing?

photo editing apps windows 8 image

Izzy

I use photoshop quite frequently, and was wondering, are there any android tablet/app combos out there that are particularly good for image editing? (illustration, not photo editing, if that matters)

Answer
You can try the Note 10.1 that uses Wacom technology. It comes with Photoshop Touch preinstalled. You can try a demo unit in a store to see if that might be something you can work with. JB fixed most of the problems experienced with the tablet when it was first released.

Or the recently released Note 8.0 mid-tablet.

The S Pen is a digital pen using Wacom tech. This is what sets the Note series apart from all other devices in the market. You can also rest your palm on the screen while working as most apps supporting the S Pen have palm rejection. Sketchbook Pro, Infinite Painter (Galaxy Note), to name a few.

Edit: Jeniefer I have to disagree. For a hobbyist like myself, using a capacitive pen to draw on a capacitive touch only screen is PAINFUL. It is not accurate and I have to hold the pen uncomfortably to work with it on the screen. It is unnatural to work in such a manner. And I spend an hour or two drawing (not just a few minutes). It is absolute garbage and something I can't work with. The Note series is the only tablet in the market that has capacitive touch AND digitizer screen. It uses Wacom technology and provides a more natural environment for drawing with its digital pen. The only drawback is that you have to use Samsung branded S Pens with the Note series. Trying to use any other digital pen will have calibration issues and there is no calibration tool provided to fix it.

Also a bigger screen helps especially if drawing with the arm and shoulder (not the wrist). Small tablets don't work as well with broad strokes as you may end up going off the screen.

There should be demo units in the store to try. I suggest trying the Note line. It is the only Android tablet that provides what you are looking for. All other tablets won't come close. That is unless you are looking for a pricey Windows Surface Pro tablet with digitizer.

How do you put a movie on your Ipod or Iphone?

So I recently got the Hangover on blue-ray/DVD and it came with one of the digital copies. I followed all the directions and it ended up being in my media player for windows but I need it in Itunes. Is there any way that I can move it from Media Player to Itunes?

Answer
1)
STEP 1: Download the app USB Disk (theres a free version which works fine)
STEP 2: connect your iPod/iPhone
STEP 3: open iTunes
STEP 4: open the interface with your iPod/iPhone
STEP 5: go to apps
STEP 6: scroll down to file sharing
STEP 7: click USB Disk
STEP 8: either drag the video file into the box right of the list of Apps which have file-sharing capabilities, or click add, and find the video file

2) If you don't want to download the app, then just skip step one, and instead of step 5 go to photos, and select the video file as a photo to by synced with your iPod

I personally suggest option 1, since in option 2 you can't see the name of the file

Hope i helped! :)

-EDIT-
oh yes, and you'll need a convertor, i recommend Handbrake (it's what i use) http://handbrake.fr/
and as for presets, here are some free ones i found a while ago :) http://www.mediafire.com/?5a9dqkcs5srcu4e

How to fix file association issues in windows 8?

photo editing apps windows 8 image

Jose

I cannot run .bat file with its default program and it opens in notepad(i don't want run it as administrator mode). This problem occured because of advance system optimizer. I checked all the boxes in the security scan even in the file associations because it said that .bat files are often use my malwares and spywares(there were also other options related related to file associations). I hope you understand. I had not made any backup. So i need a third party software which will fix or restore my file association issue. Thanks in advance. Remember i have windows 8, i need a supportive software.

Answer
Choose the programs Windows 8 uses by default:

A default program is the program that Windows uses automatically when you open a particular type of file, such as a song, movie, photo, or webpage. For example, you might have more than one photo-editing program installed on your PC. You can choose one of them to be the default program that starts whenever you open a photo.

â¢Open Default Programs by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Default Programs in the search box, tapping or clicking Apps, and then tapping or clicking Default Programs.

Set your default programs:

Use this option to choose which programs you want Windows to use as the default. What you choose will only apply to your user account and won't affect other user accounts on this PC.

To set a default program:

1.Open Default Programs by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Default Programs in the search box, tapping or clicking Apps, and then tapping or clicking Default Programs.

2.Tap or click Set your default programs.

3.Under Programs, tap or click the program you want.

4.Tap or click Set this program as default, and then tap or click OK.

If you want to choose which file types and protocols a program uses by default, tap or click Choose defaults for this program.

Note:
â¢If a program doesn't show up in the list, you can make the program a default by associating a file type or protocol with it.

Associate a file type or protocol with a program:

Use this option to fine-tune default programs based on the file type or protocol. For example, you can have all .jpg image files open using one program, and .bmp image files open using a different program.

To associate a file type or protocol with a program:

1.Open Default Programs by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Default Programs in the search box, tapping or clicking Apps, and then tapping or clicking Default Programs.

2.Tap or click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.

3.Tap or click a file type or protocol, and then tap or click Change program.

4.Tap or click the program that you want to use as the default for the file type or protocol, and then tap or click OK.

To see additional programs (if available), tap or click More options. If you don't see a program you want to use, you can tap or click Look for an app in the Store or Look for another app on this PC at the bottom of the program list.

Notes:
â¢You can't change an association for a file type or protocol and leave it blank or disassociated. You must select a new program.

â¢The options you set here only apply to your user account and won't affect other user accounts on this PC.

â¢You can only use an email program installed on your PC as the default. This means you won't be able to use a web-based email service as the default email program.

How fast is an Intel i3 processor? And what Intel processor would be equal to an AMD 8?

ProDude 88

See, I am hunting for a new Windows 8 Ultrabook. I found a couple ultrabooks which are both touch screen and only $500, while other touch screen ultrabooks cost a couple hundred dollars more. One is an Asus Vivobook and the other is an HP sleekbook. However, my only concern is that the Asus has an Intel i3 core. I want to multitask a lot on me device as easily as switching between apps on an iPad. My main needs are Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Web browsing, email, facebook, online games, some apps, CD and DVD burning, photo and video editing, video calls, iTunes, I think you get the idea. I do am not some hardcore PC gamer so I don't need too intensive speed, but I want about the same speed and responsiveness as an iPad. If an i3 is too slow for me, would an AMD 8-4555M be speedy? And what Intel processor would it correspond to? By the way, the HP is clocked at 1.60 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.40 GHz, and the Asus at 1.8.
Here is the link for the Asus Vivobook: http://www.officemax.com/technology/computers/ultrabook-laptops/product-prod4690018
The link for the HP: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.275591700

Answer
the amd a8 is a quad core, the i3 is a dual core. not only is an i3 a dual core, for the price it i not a very good processor.however i would not buy from microsoft or an asus ,asus quality has gone downhill. often you can find good laptops on clearance at retailers like best buy.contact me if you need more help.

But yeah, that's just right now. I want to be able to photoshop some people in photos where they look like they're together in the future.

8. Photo Pos Pro (Windows only)
9. Picasa (cross-platform)
10. Photoplus (Windows only)

Note that the Adobe Photoshop is a professional tool, using very advance algorithms capable of providing much better results than any freeware.
