wow, what a compendium, but would be good to read about experiences you or others entountered with them?
pcd2k´s last blog ..Mr Doob: Chrome experiments not your mothers Javascript No.2
Yes pcd2k, what I experienced when tested these tools, I had to share but this post was going so long so I decided to write only little info. I will try to share my experience about these programs in future.
This is a great list but I find myself picture and image illiterate. I can’t seem to do anything right when it comes to design and images. Free or not I think I’m screwed. Once I get my OSAP paid down I’m considering taking a few night classes on design.
bbrian017´s last blog ..Build your blog traffic using blog engage blog forums
Oh I am sorry to listen but I have some good knowledge of image editing and retouching. You are willing to join night classes that’s very good. You may try Piknik that’s very easy to use.
