Speed Challenge #56

FocusingOnFlorida · 07-03-2006

I'm not as good with PhotoShop as I am with PhotoImpact. (I've used it longer and I happen to like the customer service MUCH better) In PhotoImpact 3-d bubbles are much easier to create. I can still hold my own on PhotoShop but if I can do it easier then I go for it. Plus it only costs about $520.00 US less.*

There are actually presets that you can play with until you can make your own. I used both here.

Does photoimpact also have masking capabilities and stuff like that? My mom want's something a little more user friendly than PS. Maybe I should check that one out for her....

Yes, it does have masking. Very similar to PhotoShop. I don't know if it is any easier to learn though. I used this product long before PhotoShop, so I just happen to know the ins and outs of the program. There is a very good manual that comes with it. It is a heck of a lot cheaper than Photoshop. There are a lot of preset functions that will get your mom started, then if you right click on the presets, you can choose to apply and modify. They do have a fully functional trial that can be downloaded. here is a link for more information.

I have converted many a PhotoShop user over to PhotoImpact at work for design purpose and for photo editing.

dc2 · 07-07-2006

DDK thats nice ,glad to have you join in

dc2 · 07-09-2006

A late one from me.

macmaam · 07-09-2006

This is so hard. You all made great improvements in the image, and it was good to see ddk join us, with a really nice entry.

But, since there can only be one to carry on the next challenge:
Even though dc2 didn't make it with the first post, i really like the simple treatment of the yellow background. The colors work well, and he brought out the detail in the planter box.

Congrats, and take us into Challenge 57!
