This looks like a good cheap alternative to photoshop.  There is a 30 day trial and so far I am impressed.  Anyone else using it?

I'm not using it but heard only good things over the years. It exists already very long and its constantly developed and improved over the years so it is certainly worth a try if it fits your personal workflow.

Grp,

what do you use to make your images better ? I am curious.

G.

not that I use it but apparently paint.net is very good and its free but only for windows

and I have used rawtherapee before with good results, it is a freeware / donation raw convertor.
