Have you looked at Photoshop elements? Many of full blown photoshop's features but a sub $100 price. Only downside is that it's not universal. What Mac do you have or plan to use?
just get photoshop. only an idiot/business/school would pay for it anyway
So you say buy it, then point out an idiot would buy it...
Look at GraphicConverter. It's a pretty powerful tool... I've been using it for a while now. It's shareware, but if you don't pay for it, it only makes you wait 10 seconds befre using it, other than that it doesn't remove any functionality. 30 Euros to save that 10 seconds.
I'm on the Intel platform and tried Photoshop, but it *is* slow thanks to emulation and it is also overkill in terms of its features. Why would I steal something that I can't even use?
I found Gimpshop, which is free, but requires X11 (have to wait until I get home and get my Tiger DVD). Any experiences with that? I'll check out Chocoflop and GrapicConverter, thanks for the Input!
So far the best I found. I tried ChocoFlop and GraphicConverter but they don't seem to go beyond Seashore in functionality (for my needs...), cost more and have a messier interface.
I will check out Gimpshop under X11 this weekend, when I get hold of my Tiger DVD, unless someone wants to send me X11User.pkg from his via iChat.
Maybe others here could give Seashore a shot and send some of their thoughts. It seems like a great thing to have an open source, Cocoa-based image editor on the Mac.
I didn't think this was Warez because obviously X11User.pkg is useless without a copy of Tiger, in which case you have X11User.pkg anyway. It's just a matter of having physical access to your DVD at the moment or not.
In regards to stealing Photoshop, I didn't like that either here. I mean, that's why I started a threat about alternatives in the first place, cause I didn't want to steal.

its hard to find a good free image editor.

I've seen a crack floating around that makes the free photoshop cs3 beta basically extended for an unlimited amount of time.

When did this turn into a warez place?
