Thanks... I just downloaded DPP; it's nice. I have been using the RAW feature in CS2, but I like that DPP comes from Canon (for my d-rebel).

PSP9 primarily
PS7 for the brilliance diffusion effect
 05/22/2005 03:26:22 AM · #34
CorelDraw 9 for layout and design

Photoshop 7 for image work

In PS7 I have a LOT of filters and actions, most of which I rarely use. Ones I do use frequently are Neat Image (sparingly), Fred Miranda's Stair Interpolation Pro (fantastic), Feivel's Gothic Glow (often as an overlay that's faded to 20-30%, where I run my own home-brew version of it when I need it to be DPC-legal), Filtermeister's ConvoLine for sharpening, a new action called Smart Sharpener which seems very promising, Xero's Mystifier, and some others I forget now.

I run IrfanView as a desktop viewer and sorter.

I organize with PSP Photo Album Deluxe.

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver for web design.

I use Adobe Acrobat a lot for my work, to deliver printable files to the press.

I have a nifty utility called jpeg cruncher pro that lets me easily batch process entire folders of images in the background, for the web.

I use Pagemaker 7.0 for book layout and design.

That's the basics...

My list is long, so here is pared down version:

Photoshop CS - w/plugins galore, though I use probably 6 or 7
Image Ready - depending on what I am working on
PSP 7 & 8 - with plugins galore - PSP8 does some things better than PS for me.
IrfanView - to make icons mostly
ImagesPlus
DSLRFocus
EditPadPro - for handwriting all sorts of different code
Neat Image - stand alone and plugin
Noise Ninja2 - stand alone and plugin (I like Neat Image better)
Color Contrast Analyser (for accessibility issues)
Adobe Atmosphere
Poser5
UVMapperPro
Vue4
Terragen
World Machine
and a whole slew of other programs... :-)

I just tried to install Digital Photo Pro 1.5 that came with my camera. It says Win XP or Mac needed. I have 98 at home. It installed and would open images, particularly the raw from the camera, but after a few seconds the image would focus and then only a stripe would remain in the viewer window. The adjustment window stayed open and functional. But the image is so small you cannot make a realistic judgment on what you are doing to the image.

I also just installed Photoshop Elements 2. Already I do not like it and probably will not use it again. Perhaps this is due to faithful long time use of another product.

I think I've tried just about everything on the market, including GIMP, Paint.net, etc., etc.. I have PSP9, PhotoImpact 10, Elements 2.0. It got real confusing and I ended up a "master of none". (TIP: Pick a program, any program, but stay with it and learn it!)

I gave up. This is what I use:
PSCS2 with Focus Magic and Neat Image plugins.
Elements 3.0 with the same plugins for quickie jobs.

Went cold turkey- took all the other programs I had off the HD. I've never had PS before, and it's a learning experience, but the results I'm getting are worth it.

NeatImage is noise-reduction software. It's available as a stand-alone program or as a plugin for Photoshop.

Panorama Factory 3.4 I believe

I'm using Photo Shop Elements 3 with Scott Kirby's book - The Photoshop Elements 3 Book for digital photographers which helps me with many tricks. The book has made a huge difference in learning the program. I also use Nikon Capture 4.0.

MS Digital Image Pro 10 here - with several newly appropriated "free" filters...
 08/21/2005 12:19:23 AM · #45
DXO for my 3200 vacantion photo and cs2 suite for the 15 best
 08/21/2005 04:39:26 AM · #46
Always use Photoshop CS (will try cs2 oneday)
GIMP when on my notebook (linux)
Neatimage 5 (noise reduction)

Currently trying out DPP and C1 Pro Trial for the best raw converter

I've also been told to try Photorite FX
does anyone else have any experience with that (will download trial and have a look in near future)
 08/21/2005 04:44:53 AM · #47
Photoshop CS2
Nikon Capture
Paint Shop Pro 7 for quick jobs (PSP8 and PSP9 suck; PS is way better in heavy class while PSP7 is light enough to be excellent for quickies)

This is exactly where I am, except still on Photoshop Elements 2.

I do all my graphics work with The GIMP (version 2.2 currently) since all my workstations are unix/linux. I've found this program does all and more than what I need at this time. Generally I can read through a Photoshop tutorial and easily translate the steps to GIMP, though there are differences.

iView Media Pro

Photoshop CS
