Graphics software options

[Mark Clayton]

Hi - sorry if this is a repeated question. I have just purchased my Ricoh GXE3300n for sublimation printing and Sublijet-R ink. While i'm waiting for that to arrive I am on the hunt for a decent graphics package. As far as I can tell the main options are Corel Draw and Photoshop.

For simple cropping and placing of images etc what package is recommended? I was looking at photoshop elements - does anyone have any feedback on this package?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. If you going to use ricoh then you can use any software you like. Fo.simple croping etc i would sugest free picassa. Or as you mentioned elements. I us elements 6 and is powerfull software. I got it second hand f ebay and payed £5
cant go wrong for this price.

Thanks for your help Paul - I was favouring elements having done quite a bit of research as it looks quite user friendly and was just wondering if other people thought the same... glad I appear to be on the right lines. I'm going to take a look on ebay to see if I can find a good deal.

Paul - just a quick question - does your elements 6 work with windows 7?

[Paul]

I do not use win7. I am on XP.

OK - thanks Paul - I'll take a look on the adobe website and see what it says about supported o/s platforms.

[Paul]

yeah. good idea. you can download some trials too and see if you like them.

PC World have the latest version of Elements in their sale. I think it's £10 off.

Thanks Ian - cheapest I've found so far is Amazon.com for £49 and free delivery (that's for elements 10).

This is cheap. Compare to photoshop that cost few 100's £££.

Worth to get elements i say....
