I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, Pity cant view in large as the image is quite dark.
Black and white is very effective
hello,
a scene i know well as its inside my local patch.
the plug holes make great foregrounds dont they and its usually seen from the other side of the reservoir.
its nice and contrasty as a mono and in that sense it works well but id have like to have seen the whole of the plughole and i find the narrow strip of sky above Bamford edge a little distracting and i would be tempted to crop just a slither from off the top to the top of the ridge.
im not sure exactly what you are asking in terms of what to get, i know nothing of paintshop pro( but others who do, will no doubt be along soon to help) and i would personally recommend photoshop or photoshop elements to cover most eventualities.
best regards
Phil

Nice one - excellent conversion, full of interest and very well composed. Everyone uses Photoshop, but there is really no need - especially at £600!
I used versions of PSP for years and it did all the average keen photographer needs. I bought Elements 5, now 8 of course - for my wife's laptop some years ago and it, too, is perfectly adequate for most people. I did find some of the Elements functions a bit too basic, but probably because I've used Photoshop since version 7.
The problem with Elements is that it can try and take over and tell you what to do rather than you use it as a tool - as it should be. But just use the editor without any of the assistance modes. (Steer clear of auto everything - learn to do it manually as your work here suggests you already can.)

This is a very nice mono, but the sliver of sky at the top bothers me, so I would suggest cropping it. I have always used PaintshopPro and find it very user friendly. It's not budget that dictated my choice, but space on my original computer, and I am so at ease with the programme now, I would be loathe to change. Because it is inexpensive, why not go with it and, if you find it isn't adequate for your editing needs at a later date, you could progress to PS later.
