Designing a siggy need help

[Marcel]

GIMP is free and just as powerfull as Paintshop. I use Paintshop a lot, but since this doesn't work om my OS anymore (I now use Linux) I'll have to learn GIMP. GIMP is there for Windows as well, of course. BTW, the folded corner is a standard effect on Paintshop.

OK. Thank you. So it is a laptop but not the desktop one type. What number of the service pack do you have installed for the XP Home Edition OS?

Morning Wojrtk, just had breakfast. Yes it is a laptop and I have Version 2002 Service Pack 3

OK. Thank you for the info. There is a few opinions about the PS ver.6CE.A few stated it couldn't work with WinXP as it wasn't dedicated to the system.A few others said there wasn't any trouble with its running under the OS.
Did you have any problem with its installation ?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Can't say, it was installed by a family friend who specialises in office hardware set-up, he borrowed my laptop and loaded the programme. I've used it very little and can't say I've encountered problems.

Reading from what other guys have posted, if the Photoshop is likely to be a problem on my system, maybe I should look into the GIMP or the CorelDRAW that has been mentioned.

The GIMP program is free software.It is quite nice one.And it can be very useful like the CorelDraw that is comercial and expansive software. So if you can't buy the Corel one I suggest the GIMP.It's up to you only.
What about Photoshop ver.7?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sorry for the delay, we have builders knocking holes in walls at the moment. Noisy.

It is my intention now that Windows 7 is out to upgrade the laptop in about April next year, this one will be over 5 years old by then and at the same time I was toying with the idea of Photoshop 7. Maybe if it is ok with you, we should try and see how I go with the Photoshop.

 

[Wurger]

No problem VB. When?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

At your convenience, I'm no longer a working man (retired) so can be available most mornings my time, which is late evening your time. I think for the both of us, we should just see how we go.

 

[Wurger]

No problem. It's a half past the midday here.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

And 22:50 here, good evening. If you are up for it, maybe a little tuition before my bed time.

 

[Wurger]

Sorry I was busy with a few chores I had to take care of.As a result I have noticed your answer too late.I guess you hit the sack.So we can try in the evening my local time. Sleep well.

BTW...I need to see your Photoshop screeshot when it is opened.Simply I have to have a look at its layout and available options as I use Polish version.

Correldraw Paintshop pro is way cheaper then Photoshop, about 1/10th of the price. It's actually quite easy to use and I recommended for people just starting playing with pictures. Gimp is free. I actually I find it a bit less intuitive then Paintshop, but it's very powerful.

G'day Wojetk, I see you hard at work with H, are you on shift?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Electricians have just arrived on kitchen renovation and I'm about to loose power on internet connection. Will see if I can catch you tomorrow evening your time. Screen print attached, hope you can read it.

Have a good night.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sorry Vic!

I would've let him know I thought he'd come here.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

No probs H, I'll just have to drag myself out of bed early to fit in with Wojetk's times. 7am here is 9pm yesterday in Poland. Not to early is it.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wow. What a difference.

 

[Wurger]

Hi VB,

The kitchen renovation...he he he. There is the same for my one.But the power is done and I don't have to be off.
But OK. No problem we can start later.

Have a nice day.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Will you be available on Monday evening your time to have a go at the Photoshop, say from about 9pm your time, that's 7am Tuesday morning here. The kitchen guy will still be here, but all the electrics are done so shouldn't be getting any power cuts.

 

[Wurger]

What about tonight ( today)?
