Hi All,

Just wondering if you could give me some advice...I am a total novice, but I take reasonable pics and have a digital camera, tablet and decent camera phone. I am always taking photos on the move while walking my dogs or getting quick snaps of my 4 year old girl, what I need is some advice on what graphics tools to use. One that is easy to use, costs as little as possible but is good to use....
Tall order I know!!! Feed back would be appreciated

Try Googling 'Gimp' & 'Picassa' for starters......they're free downloads & easy to use !!!

There's lots out there, for free, just can't remember any more ?.

Have a look on 'Cnet' downloads too !!!.....lots to go at !

Hi Andrea,

You could try looking here.
Pixlr would get my vote out of that lot.

Another alternative and one that I use sometimes is FastStone image viewer.

Good luck!

Bren.

Quote: get Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

True enough Stephen provided you're shooting RAW but Lightroom's somewhat overkill if you're using Jpegs.
One of the others would probably be more suitable if that's the case.

then elements 10, free for a month free to download and about £45 if you want to keep it, price varies a lot, shop around , nothing gained or lost if you dont like it, uses Raw and Jpegs

FastStone seems one of the best freebies. It does RAW conversion as well.
