Hello,
Does anyone know of any good free photo editors that can edit big, high quality photos? Something like photoshop. I've tried a few & I can't seem to find one that works well.
Thank you.

GIMP has long had a reputation as probably the best free editor around. Kind of like Photoshop circa V7 (before the CS versions 1,2....currently 6) from what I've heard. How about investing a little cash in the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements? There's an awful lot of stuff in the full Photoshop (I have CS5 ext.) which may well be exciting to designers and illustrators (3D image functionality etc...etc) but of very little interest to the photographer! In addition, quite a few of the photographic features only really apply if you're handing-off work to a commercial printer/publishing house. Elements is paired-down for the photographer. The image editing functions it does have (and it's all the 'important' ones in practice, 99% of the time) are identical to the full version in terms of image quality and degree of control/functionality. Worth a look? Don't know if you've tried the 'retro-photoshop' GIMP? Quite honestly, a large portion of later Photoshop functionality is not incredibly different from Photoshop 7. Some stuff is more intelligent, and has dedicated dialogues. But in many cases we could replicate them using time and just the basic control and adjustment layers and selections. GIMP I believe has the required stuff. [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]
