Picture Effects

Hey everyone! Well, I didn't know where to put this thread so if I put it in the wrong place, I am sorry.

Anyways, I stumbled upon this program:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/photofiltre.html

Is it worth downloading and using? Any help is appreciated.

Well i think this is the wrong place, it's all up to you really, maybe download the program and trying the it out to see if you like it.

[bbfan02 23]

Yeah, thats what I should of done before posting this. Thanks for reminding me. I'll post here again if it doesnt work out.

No layers?! No Filters?!

...

I'd be lost without either... Photoshop ftw...

I tend to agree with El Burro.  If you want a free photo editor with all the gizmos get the GIMP.

Moving to Off Topic - General.

I actually have the GIMP. Hey, sorry that you had to move this. I was wondering where to post this.

I'd stick with the GIMP. Pretty sure it's still recognized as the best free photo editing software out there right now.

If you really want PhotoFiltre, I can say that I've at least heard of it before.. pretty sure it's the next best after the GIMP.

Why don't you just use GIMP? Filters are stupid, lazy, and they leave your images looking terrible. Turn down the saturation 10 points and the contrast up 10, and you'll have a better picture than any filter program can give you.

They can when you don't know how to use them properly, but in the right hands they can do wonderful things

This is true. I've got the methods of the Blending Options in Photoshop down, but the filters still elude me. Only one I can use on a regular basis to improve whatever picture I'm making is Gaussian Blur.

Is it like a GIMP?

I'm glad your link posted the pros and cons. I'm still laboring after a couple of years of GIMP and Paint.net of comprehending layers, but I like them!

Did you get the GIMP tutorials?  They are on the site.

I read ya Mr. Selleck, but redding 'em and unnerstanning 'em are two diffrent things!

[bbfan02 23]

I installed the program and I like it a lot. Thanks for all the feedback. It just will take some time to see what it can do.
