Image editor by John Anderton on 02-17-2005 at 05:41 AM

In short i would like to have an image editor which isnt too big like adobe ps but is nice and powerful. I want to make nice sigs and avatars with it. I also wanna add some text into some pics. So can someone recommend a good one. I am on download.com but cant find anything cause they have 256 or so image editors
My choice would be like 50 - 60 mb max size (a bit here and there will do but i hate to wait for it to download) and it should be powerful and not too slow
Any recommendations

Fireworks (Y) Has nice effects and it's simple enough to use.

Can't remember the size, though.

RE: Image editor by user13774 on 02-17-2005 at 08:03 AM

If you don't want the "full" photoshop, you can also get Photoshop Elements (3 is newest, I use 2). It's less complicated then Photoshop CS and it has all the mayor Photoshop functions.

Thanks a million marcus. I'll get it. tbh ps is too complicated. I'll try that and lets see how elements works. I just to make sigs, avatars n some minor changes. Also increase / decrease quality n all
U know where i can learn to make nice sigs easily ??

RE: Image editor by ~INVASION~ on 02-17-2005 at 09:59 AM

gimp sounds the best tho i have used fireworks before. It is very good for creating animated .gif's

RE: Image editor by John Anderton on 02-17-2005 at 01:16 PM

Gimp and fireworks r really small. Which should i use. I know many ppl will say fireworks cause many ppl use it but is it easy to use. I am just learning image editing so is it easy to make the reqd images

RE: Image editor by SikStyles on 02-18-2005 at 10:24 PM

how about GIMP 2?

RE: Image editor by Mike on 02-19-2005 at 06:35 AM

You can try Paint Shop Pro 9 (y)
It's 107 MB, but they use an exe file that downloads the program (you don't download it from your webbrowser)
It can also resume!

I dunno why but i hate to do that. I tried that with yahoo on win 98 and my pc used to get slow/hang

Ok i got fireworks and mate 2 ameture skins. They aint that good but i like em cause i made them myself

So i need to put some finishing touches on it with fireworks. Ne suggestions. I googled it to find tut's but none of em apply. I just want to give it a finish like the rachel bilson sig underneath.

the Rachel Bilson one i did, i put an effect called Scanlines, look up some tuts on google.

i strongly suggest obtaining Adobe Photoshop. Fireworks sucks behind in my opinion, but i suppose its whatever floats your boat.

Adobe was too complicated for me back then and i'll only get it on 15th march. Tuts on google ..... i think i said i cant find any useful ones but newayz i did say it now.
Fw is easier to use and faster but has very less features. It only has a few like emboss, bevel, hue and all the colour thingies etc ... so there is not much i can do untill i get adobe ps. But still do ne of ya'll know something. I mean how i can give a few finishing touches.

For the matrix sig i think you need to ladd a layer mask over the picture of neo to make it blend better
