Adjusting Images What do you use?
 

I am currently using adobe lightroom 4 for adjusting images brightness contrast etc quality and resizing i wanted to know is there anything out there thats better and easier to use because the program i use now is slowing down my pc.

What do you guys use??

Gimp should be easier on your system load than adobe lightroom.

What are the specs for your pc ???

snagit is a good little program.

I have used gimp before there was something i didnt like about it

260gb and 1gb ram im looking to upgrade the memory

i use the windows photo gallery, click the fix and i can adjust the brightness, contrast and crop the picture. that's really all i use anyway

I personally use the Adobe CS 6 series of applications but these would be memory & processor intensive to you. 1 GB is about the absolute minimum really.

I would guideline you to look at applications that have a low memory/processor usage load.

These are some applications you may want to explore:
Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo
Corel Painter
Corel Photo-Paint
Microsoft Paint
Ulead PhotoImpact
SnagIt
CorelDRAW

Good little progam.

Love using it.

Makes me think haha ebay I snagged ya
:lol::lol:

Photoshop for me all the way.

Picasa,...for just some "touching-up", Using Gimp for more serious stuff. Going to look into this "Snagit".

Hahaha i like it :-)

really good for recording video and extracting single frams for pictures.

Scrolling wondows , Copy full pdf

Soon as you load a pic it gest stripped

Does everything and really easy to get used to

There is also getpaint(.)net

gimp for me

I have found Irfanview to be the quickest and easiest way to resize and change colour.

Also integrates into the windows shell to give you right click context menus to open with

CorelDraw serves me very well, once you go CorelDraw and know how to use it, you'll never go back!.....It's just like going Mac.

I always point at ebay on my computer screen and say "I Corel Ya!!" with angry voice.

:bounce:

i always use photoshop, its seems like overkill for such a trivial matter but i actually enjoy using it.

I use a program called photofiltre. Free to download, easy to use and suits my needs perfectly.

Wow, this is the first time I remember someone here using the SNAG IT program.

Since this thread is older if you have not looked at this take the time.

One cool program to use.

EXIF and paint keeps it simple :)

Photoshop CS6!

I wish I had your PS skills MM, I would be rich like you.....


:pop2:

Sandy, you must be referring to the other MM...cause I'm pooor!!!

Marilyn Monroe?????????????????


:faint:

Perfect resize 7.5 with photoshop cs6 and batchpurifier

MS paint works for me also

paint.net --

Photoshop 6 for everything, if you really get into it you can do anything so its worth looking into tutorials. Without it I would be lost.

wouldn't you say photoshop is kinda overkill for listing pictures?

most you have to do is crop, brightness, hue, resize..

I use it for graphics, pictures is only a small portion of use for me. Removing pack sizes, manufactures name the list is endless ;)

Just listed my first item on my stealth account.
I stripped the photo using Stripper, and also Batchpurified it.
My only concern is that, when I checked the Properties of the image,
I noticed that it said at the bottom something like the following

Samuel-PC/User-MikeJones/MyPictures/item.jpg

Where "Samuel-PC" would be the name of my computer, the Administrator (me),
and "MikeJones" is the name of the stealth user.

I'm hoping Ebay can't see that.

Those are just details of where the file is located. When you upload to Ebay that information doesn't go with the picture.

The only information that goes with the picture is the data you cleared with Stripper.

Oh, thank you, MM78. Actually it was one of your posts from which I downloaded the Stripper program.

MM78 was stripping????????????????


:faint:

:cheer: Ah, carumba! found his gear :cheer:

I do it part time...only made $10 so far!

I use the following:
* Paint.NET for image editing (free)
* Screen Grab Pro for screen cap when needed (free)
* Batch purifier Lite for removing EXIF (free)

and I don't strip anymore. sorry.

Does Stripper do the same thing as BatchPurifier?
If I use BP do I need to strip? (I'd rather not...I feel so dirty after)

In other words, if I use BatchPurifier, will Stripper be superfluous?

You shouldn't feel dirty after you strip, it's very natural. If you have double d's it is actually recommended (by me).

I only use batch purifier and I think it's great!

1 program should do the job in general.

Yet you actually posted this earlier in the thread



Depends on the task. May need to use two programs for best result if you have enough experience in doing this sort of work
