ebzen02 341 Posted December 24, 2010 www.Gimp.org.. Where was I living under! Just found this site and not sure why you'd spend money on other editing systems when you can get this for free!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted December 24, 2010 I always like my cracked Photoshop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkGlass 83 Posted December 24, 2010 I always like my cracked Photoshop Cracked ps is great but they've done something in Windows 7 which spots it and as soon as you open any of the parts of CS4 closes them immediately and says that the serial # etc is missing...... The only solution I found was to reconfigure the machine under a different OS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted December 24, 2010 no, the best thing is, on every cracked software, immediately block all internet communication with your firewall. THe software checks if the inserted cdkey is valid, trough backdoor ip address everytime when you start program.. So if you block communication, there is no problem..

greg_r 81 Posted December 24, 2010 The Gimp is available for most platforms and is quite powerful (albeit with sufficient limitations to make it unsuitable for professional use). Probably THE best image editor for hobbyist use though. My only real complaint is that the user interface is a bit of a pig's ear - it does the job but it's not exactly elegant However, it's a whole lot better idea than running a pirated version of Photoshop...

There's a cheaper/cut down Photoshop program known as 'Elements' - It didn't used to understand CMYK - not sure if that's changed in later versions - probably not an issue with most people. Cost used to be circa £65.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cost used to be circa £65.00 Elements is okay, but has some fairly severe limitations. Currently (at least for Windows) the real bargain is Corel Photo-Paint. Similar sort of price range but it's almost as powerful as Photoshop. Great piece of software. For Mac users, take a look at Pixelmator. Only $20 and remarkably comprehensive.

I've been using Pixelmator for the past year (actually since 1.0 beta) and it takes care of 90% of the stuff I used to use PS for. It loads in just a couple of seconds, reads and saves in PhotoShop file format, and is less confusing (sometimes PS just seems to stick too many options in your face at once ). I'd say that just the load time alone has probably given me a couple of extra hours a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 24, 2010 Yup - I use Adobe CS5 suite for work and own a copy myself, but I still find myself launching pixelmator whenever I need to do something simple. It's not really powerful enough for print, but for everything else, it just works. Great piece of software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree completely, for anything business (or Passport ) related I use PS, Illustrator, and InDesign; but for anything joke/avatar/internet stuff, its Pixelmator.

Tom3949 0 Posted December 25, 2010 I've always used Jasc Paint Shop Pro and found it pretty good. Could never justify the price of Photo Shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThinkBachs 1 Posted December 25, 2010 Ps is the only way to go. Plugins, brushes, styles, shapes, patterns, actions, the ability to create and save your own custom actions... Plus using the Ps file directly in After Effects without saving as something else. I'm happy with it- in fact, it's open the whole time my computer is on, unless I don't need it and want to cut down on resources while rendering in AE. Running W7 Ultimate 64x and CS5 Master Collection with no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malloc 0 Posted December 26, 2010 A good alternative to The Gimp is Paint.NET http://paint.net/ It doesn't have quite as many features but it's *much* easier to use. The Gimp's user interface is very average in comparison. If I don't have Photoshop available I'll use Paint.NET for most of my editing, and only fire up the Gimp occasionally when Paint.NET is missing a feature. I have Photoshop at home though, it's easily the best option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
