Topaz Adjust

Hello,since i dont have the money for photoshop or patience to learn it,i tried Irfan.Works fairly well.I added the pluggin for Topaz Adjust.After seeing some vids on you tube ect,i used with some sucess.It really changed the look and pop if you will of the pics.

Has anyone tried any of Topaz editing software?Thanks for advice.If you can recommend any other similar programs.photoshop is the cream of the crop but not for $600 plus bucks.

Thanks

Have you look into GIMP? Similar to Photoshop and free. Check the sticky at the top of this forum. Photoshop elements is a low cost option also.

As is Corel Paint Shop Pro......(low cost option, not free)

I'm trialing Topaz Adjust and really like it so far. You can get some results very close to Lucis for a lot less $. Also, Topaz Cleaner 2, although I've haven't played with it as much. They'll probably end up getting purchased.

You could also try Elements as a lot of people find it is all they need.

Thanks for the replys.I like easy to use software. I dont have the luxury of spending alot of time tweeking family photos and the like. I have looked over photoshop but, it seems alittle over the top for me. I`m going to check out elements.

How hard is GIMP to use? I read good reviews on it.

Thanks once again.
