Amazing Photo Editing Program (Adobe Photoshop CS4)

Advantages: Massive amount of features, endless ways to manipulate pictures
Disadvantages: Takes a while to learn how to use it

...Having recently reviewed Quark on here I thought I should also give a review on Photoshop as it is another program that I use on a daily basis. Photoshop is a photo editing program which again as with quark I started when I was 17 (long time ago now) and at college studying Graphic Design, being young and having never used the program before I thought it was amazing, I didn't realize that there where programs out there that could do so much to pictures. How times have changed, this program has been re-released several times since I first started using it and it has come on in leaps and bounds, it is now an even more amazing program which is packed full of features, you can pretty much do anything you like to a picture, it certainly makes me think twice when I see a picture in a newspaper or magazine, you never know what could have been...

Easy Peasy Photo Editing

Advantages: Easy to use for beginners
Disadvantages: some items hard to find

...allows you to select the adjustment you want without a lot of trial and error. Fingers or Thumbs? The biggest difference between photo impact and others is the way you select the adjustment you want. With most image editors there's a lot of guesswork involved in editing the image. Often you are presented with a sliding scale, and unless you have the manual in front of you, you will have no idea what numerical value to set it at to get the right effect. However, Photo impact presents the user with a series of thumbnails representing the various levels of the command you want to apply. You can see a miniature representation of what each level will be like if selected and choose the one you like best. Double clicking on it will immediately apply that level of your chosen effect, whereas a single click will select the level but allow you...

Digital Photo Printing at Boots

Advantages: Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

..., and a few in quite poor lighting conditions that have required a little editing to look decent on the computer. I've used Boots for photo printing like this for many years, ever since I got a digital camera, and also used them when I had a normal camera as well. I've yet to have any problems, other than one incident a few years ago where photos were mixed up, but this was sorted quickly, and I, and the other person, got a free film and a refund. I will not hesitate to use them in future. A particular thing with Boots is the staff, who you feel really know what they are doing, rather than just being lightly trained button pushers. I would definitely recommend Boots for digital photo printing. It might not be cheapest, but it's worth it for the quality and professionalism....

Developing your photos at Tesco

Advantages: Quick and Easy
Disadvantages: Can be more expensive and you cannot pay by cash at these machines

...I have found this service quite handy as now having a digital camera i tend to forget to develop my photos, which is a shame, and trying to hand your memory card over for someone to pick out the ones you want to develp can be quite stressful, which is why i use the self service photo developing. I have found it quite an easy self explanatory experience, you insert your memory card and follow the on-line instructions, you can either have the normal 4x6 prints, the option to select all photos or certain ones, you also have the option to re-size your photos as well. When selecting your photos it tells you how much it is costing you on the screen, so no nasty suprises at the end! You then simply pay for the selected photos by card at the machine and then your photos are printed while you wait, which i think is quite quick. The only down...

TescoPhoto.com = Average

Advantages: Good quality photos
Disadvantages: Random Duplicates which i didnt order

...Every few months I get around 50-70 photos developed, mainly of my family, nights out, birthdays, holidays ECT. I just have a ?thing? about having lots of photos! I always have my photos developed online (I?m just too lazy to go to a shop) so a few days ago I searched on the internet for any special offers because I had 50 to print out I thought I could look around for a good deal. My mum suggested looking on the Tesco website. I hadn?t considered them before so I wasn?t sure on what their prices would be, after typing in Tesco photos I came across their site, I was welcomed with lots of special offers on the homepage ?save up to £20...?, ?free premium gloss paper on photo books?, ?40 free prints?, ?prints from 5p? are just a handful of the offers that Tesco photos had. THE REST OF THE WEBSITE Besides the special offers, the rest...

Tesco Online Photo Processing

Advantages: Earn Clubcard points, can have it delivered to your home or nearest store.
Disadvantages: Differing advice from their customer service.

...Overall Review I didn?t use my local store when processing my photos or ordering gifts, I used the online photolab - http://www.tescophoto.com/wpp/tesco/welcome.jsp. One of the incentives to join is 10 free prints, although I?ve found a lot more online photolabs that offer you a much higher quantity of free prints. With Tesco photolab you upload your pictures into a chosen album with 200Mb free storage, you can choose which album you want to have and name each of them. You can also share your photos online but I didn?t choose to do this so don?t really know how to go about it. I am not on broadband so it took a wee while to upload each of my photos. I chose to have my order delivered to my door (You can have your photos delivered straight to your door or collect them from store, delivery details below) and had my order within...

DVD Photo Slideshow

Advantages: Quick and easy to use!
Disadvantages: None

...I?m a serious camera/photo nut so when I got my first laptop last year I decided to do a digital photography course at my local college. Among many other things I learned the art of taking and manipulating digital pictures and then displaying them on websites and creating other exciting features ? the most exciting of which, for me, was DVD slideshows. At college we used Nero for this purpose, however I wanted something a little more user friendly and a more simplistic interface. I found this programme among others using a straight forward Google search. I done some research and downloaded a few trial editions. Ease of use was my main priority and I felt that this programme was, by far, the most easy to use. The programme cost me around £27. I downloaded the programme and installed it onto my computer and I was then emailed...

Review of DVD Photo Slideshow

A quick look at One Hour Photo

Advantages: Robin Williams Performance
Disadvantages: None really

...I am not a big fan of pschological thrillers but i did really enjoy this one. The basic storyline is a lonely photo technician becomes obsessed with the family whose photos he has been printing for years. Robin Williams gives a wonderful performace as Sy the Photo Guy and a well written script really helps to keep the film going with it's creepy scenes as his obsession develops. You can't guess quite where the film will go next and the story progresses well. It has it's moments where you are in suspence and one piece which is quite disturbing, but i would still suggest it as a family film. (Just not for young children) Some moments are scarier than in horror because it is played out realistically and this is what makes it so good. There was no stand out soundtrack or complcated dialogue, it witheld a eerie normal feel to it. As the film...

Review of One Hour Photo (DVD)

fantastic photo printing

Advantages: photos
Disadvantages: cost of ink

...HP are one of the leading printer manufactures in the UK at the moment, this is simple because their printers not only offer great quality of print but they also offer anyone printers for any needs which targets the whole of the printer market out there. The HP PhotoSmart D7360 touch screen is an quite large 86mm in size. This offers the ability to view photos on a great quality colour screen and the ability to even edit them too before you press that print button. The touch screen offers many buttons to change the pictures appearance and layout and there is still 7 actual buttons for various things on the printer itself. The screen folds up and down for easy storage and so that it doesn’t get damaged when its not in use. On the right hand side of the buttons and the screen are the memory card slots. There’s four card...
