 | View Full Version : How to edit PSD files? AH-Tina 08-22-2006, 08:02 PM I'm looking for a free or cheap program to help me edit PSD files. I have some free website templates, but I need a PSD editor in order to customize them. Must be idiot-friendly as well. :D Thanks! --Tina BPrintz 08-22-2006, 08:22 PM You could try GIMP, I haven't tried their PSD plugin in a while but it's worth a try... might give you an idea of somewhere to look at least. breakpoint 08-22-2006, 08:37 PM Getting photoshop would be so much easier :p namelayer 08-22-2006, 08:44 PM PS CS2 30 day trial should be good. BPrintz 08-22-2006, 09:07 PM As well photoshop elements is a cost effective alternative to the full out PS. AH-Tina 08-22-2006, 09:12 PM Okay, forgive my ignorance. What is the cheapest "photoshop" product that I could use to edit the PSD files? Can you link me to a product page, etc.? Thanks again - I appreciate the help! --Tina bear 08-22-2006, 09:41 PM Photoshop Elements (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=photoshop+elements&btnG=Google+Search) Like PS light....limited, but functional enough for template edits. AH-Tina 08-22-2006, 09:46 PM Photoshop Elements (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=photoshop+elements&btnG=Google+Search) Like PS light....limited, but functional enough for template edits. Its like $90. I was hoping for something a bit more FREE (or cheap). :P --Tina BPrintz 08-22-2006, 09:56 PM Elements is the cheap version, the full fledged Photoshop is more like 600 lol! Try www.gimp.org it does support PSD files and is free, I'm just not sure however how limited the PSD support is (before it had some issues with many layers and tons of filters). Give it a shot, if it's a basic PSD file you should be ok. bear 08-22-2006, 09:57 PM First sponsored link on the result page shows $49.95? I used to have like 5 copies, free ones that came with scanners I'd bought over a few years or for clients. Might be worth visiting Ebay for it? bluskyguy 08-23-2006, 01:09 AM Yeah, if you're looking for FREE Gimp would be your best bet...like the post above noted though you may just want to visit ebay and purchase a cheap copy of elements serverbox 08-23-2006, 10:26 AM Gimp is the most advanced free graphic editor there is. And besides Corel the only thing that can really be compared to Photoshop. Actually I think the suggestion of Photoshop CS2 trial is a great idea. You are probably looking to finish a project and probably the only thing that will open up a photoshop file and give you FULL editing capabilities is Photoshop |
