Easy Peasy Photo Editing

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

...This ones yet another example of the great 'Coverware' that I pick up, and a fine piece of software it is too should you have the inclination to take time using it. For those of you that don't know what coverware is, it's those programmes supplied on magazine cover discs, and I've had some remarkable software off many a great cover: Two different versions of Lotus organiser (including the penultimate one) two full Smartsuites, Word pro 97, Pressworks, Encyclopaedias galore, and They're all full versions. One of the most used programmes of mine is version 4 of photo impact in it's SE version. SE was basically a cut down version of the programme given away with OEM hardware, such as digital cameras. So how does it differ from the competition and is it any good? Well In my opinion its the perfect image editor for beginners, because it...

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...

The installation disc comes with many extras such as photo editing software for your PC/Mac, watermarks and multi-page per sheet printing options.

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...

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...

Cheap and cheerful editing software

Advantages: Simple easy to use software with some advanced features
Disadvantages: Installation problems, bugs in software and need to upgrade

...Pinnacle 9 is nigh on Dickensian, it left me thinking that ?it was the best of software it was the worst of software?, how can one ?umble product leave you ripping your hair out as well as oddly satisfied, in fact it practically left me asking for more. The software is actually very good; especially for the price in fact it makes the editing process remarkably simple, transitions, multi-level sound and image editors. But the package could drive anybody to the brink of insanity. The software is quite large and uses up a huge amount of a computers resources, so shutting everything down (as they themselves recommend) is a very good idea, however if like me you?ve got a computer approaching it?s fifth birthday and the grim reaper seems to hover over it ready to strike at any moment, Pinnacle 9 spells trouble. First of all the initial...

Review of Pinnacle Studio DV version 9

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...
