yleihs Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi. I used to have Photoshop CS2 but the program no longer works in my new operating system. I cannot afford right now to buy a new software so I am looking into something free or cheaper program i can use to do more digital scrapbooks. Does anyone out there have any recommendations for me? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nica Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Google GIMP. Its a free program that works relatively well. We have a few ladies that use it. Hopefully, one of them will be along to give you more info. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 PSE is a lot more affordable than the full version of Photoshop. The current version is PSE11. If you're used to CS2, it shouldn't be too hard to make the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferZ Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I was going to say exactly what April said. PSE is a great alternative to the full version of Photoshop. Check around for a sale or coupons. Sometimes BJ's or other places have it for around $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieB Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I use GIMP. The drawback here is that you can't use any of the tools and styles, but everything else works fine. I have been able to figure out how to do most everything that I've seen done here. It really is free, so give it a try. PM me if you have any GIMP questions.

mimes1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Costco often has really good prices on PSE. If you are a member you might check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingSun Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I agree, Costco has good prices on PSE. There is also the student versions if you know any teachers or full time students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yleihs Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I just now read all these replies. I will definitely check PSE11. I recently swtiched from Costco to BJs so hopefully they have PSE11. The thing is I have also saved a gazillion digi elements that I am still hoping to use. While I can use some of these elements in Powerpoint Windows 7, there are limitations. Thank you all for your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
