Merlin Orr Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 If you have a digital camera and like to take photos - this is a very good product. It will fix, shrink, crop, lighten, darken etc etc... Link below is for a trail download. If you do digital you may fall in love.

BrianH Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I use their Photo Canvas program...that seems to do everything I need. I think their software is the most user-friendly, too. Has been for years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNsTeR Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 For viewing and simple operations (resize, crop, etc.), you can't beat IrfanView. http://www.irfanview.com/ For more complex operations, the Windows version of The GIMP has gotten pretty stable. It's about as powerful as Photoshop, but it's free! http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I'd love to use digital at work. My group still uses Polaroid... Poloroid... That's good.... oh, you're serious wouldn't an inexpensive, quality camera (like a 2MB Olympus @ $130) pay for itself fairly quickly? Sorry, couldn't resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Depends if you need the photos in court or not. I've been told that Polaroids are better than others in that regard, though that could just be an urban legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 35s and Polaroids still have their place.. I took my little Sony CD camera with me on vacation and took about 1400 photos @ 1280 x 960. Downloaded them to folders on my computer then ran the auto adjust feature on ACDSee on em all. They turned out great and are already organized into groups per location with slide shows ready with a single mouse click. Not counting the camera - costs me about 45 cents per mini CD - each CD hold about 170 or 180 photos. I don't know what it would cost to use 35 mm to do that but it would be a lot more. Also the convenience of the digital can't be beat. Some jobs require you furnish Polaroids or 35 mm when photo documentation is required but the number of employers who do are steadily diminishing.

Patrick Sweeney Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I understand the the Courts, aware of the work that can be done via Photoshop, look kindly towards the "digital certificate" technology that keeps photos from being doctored. but I haven't tried any, so don't know.

D.Hayden Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Patrick, are you implying that some of those picture in the Enquirer could have been 'faked'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 sorry for the drift... For my line of work (catastrophe insurance claims ) and the volume of claims we run, Polaroid still works. I think really its a speed issue. Quality? If we need real documentation, we take 35's. We've been screaming for digital for a number of years (and I think the Sony Mavica was the answer for a number of reasons I won't get into), but who knows. drift-off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
