Message-Id: : I actually prefer Photo Shop 7.0 by Jasc to Adobe's Photoshop because it is easy to use and very affordable. Of course, there are a number of things that work better with Photoshop; i.e. cutting-out a complex object. Yes. For power and ease of use, Jasc's Paint Shop is the tool of choice. If you need to do color separations, match commercial printing ink colors, or complex rendering, PhotoShop can do it at a price. |

Orchid Photos: Getting Those Reds?
Hmm...I have Photoshop too, and I would call "Elements" Photoshop for
Computer Dummies. Well, not exactly dummies, but it has a lot of the Photoshop adjustments automated so people with less graphic experience and computer experience can tweak their photos and give them interesting effects. It is just a slimmed-down, more automated version of Photoshop. It costs about $100 from Adobe directly, but I bet it is available for less somewhere else. I got it with my camera, plus I convinced them to buy it at work for processing our photos. QPR is good. -- Reka I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

I think that one of these days we'll have to spring for Adobe Photoshop. From everything I hear, that's the best one without spending obscene amounts of money. That program is about as obscenely priced as we'd want to get. Diana There is a Photoshop ELEMENTS that is pretty useful with out the super top overhead or the super cost.

This is interesting. Lots of good info; thanks, everyone.

I've found that the best way to get a good red is to provide a monochromatic background of blue (especially), yellow, brown, gray, or just about anything but purple and some greens. I know there are technical explainations of why the reds are difficult but this is the best work-around I've come across. It may not be "natural", but you'll get the red you want.

I posted a pic in abpo of Dtps. Taisuco Firebird, but the true color is a deeper and richer fuscia than what we captured. We get the "brown" reds, and the maroons are perfect. But the hot fuscias are a problem. Any advice welcome! Diana |

Howdy folks
Was just following this thread and thought I would drop some comments. I would definitely go with photoshop 7, don't even look at photoshop elements, its wishy washy to say the least. Anyway, most graphical/photo editing proggies have a tool/function called 'auto levels'. Usually applying this function will give you very true colours. If the original poster would like to e-mail me the pic I can show you before and after pictures just to show you what I'm talking about. my mail is remove removespam to get me -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message nk.net...
