For 90% of editing I have used FastStone for nearly 10 years. It is a free download, surprisingly good at what it offers.
For more taxing edits I use PS Elements 2, very old but very efficient, with some
bits and pieces now discarded by PS. I also have PS5 but never use it.

I've been working on trying to post in the correct forum. I saw that photos cape was mentioned here.
This is an FYI. I got an in-house app update notice from Apple, an update that dll automatically if you are on auto upload. In other words you don't have to go apple store to get the download. I assume Apple only does this for apps it considers quite significant.

PhotoScape X 2.7.1 photo editor, http://x.photoscape.org

Apple just recently came out w a whole new photo editor, went from iPhoto to the new "Photo" which was a totally different layout.

I opened photo scape and it looks user friendly and pretty complete. I hate post processing. Its so time consuming, it takes time away from actual photography and I'm not really good at it. I'm always looking for user friendly, easier tools. It looks like I'll be using it.

Also: Its free and available in windows. Does anyone have experience w photo scape. I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean anything

I've also been wondering if I'm the only one in Dyxum running Mac. I Love my Mac, its the most problem free anything I've ever had.

thanks___________Coast!

* Do you have a suggestion? Please post below to let us know.

I am using AVS4you. It is not freeware but offers an attractive lifetime subscription for a suite of programs including (ir-)regular updates. It lacks a program to do batch processing on pictures, and is not nearly as complete and flexible as GIMP, but much easier to use for occasional users

I have the full version plus the update on my webspace here which you can download for free.

What about adding Pixelmator as an image editor for Mac users?

Dyxum members might like to know that the long awaited RAWTherapee 3.0 is now available. This doesn't compare with PS and the like, but it will do most things you would expect to do with a RAW file except image manipulation. It uses the same base program as the major RAW programs and hence is kept up to date with the latest camera models. It will also open jpeg files. Contact:

Pardon, but I think it'll be better to use 'FOSS' or 'Free Software' term since 'Freeware' (in common usage) tends to refer more often to proprietary and closed source software, sire, while the GIMP are not.

Hmmm... Sony Remote Camera Control?
Then you open the files in Sony Image Data Lightbox.
I don't know if there's a cheaper software.

Oops: Octupi was faster.

Have you considered tethered shooting to your laptop (assuming you have one) and then connecting that to your TV or allowing them to view your laptop/computer? You can shoot tethered to LR or simply a folder on your hard drive

I hope that I'm in the right place for this question. I have been asked to do a few portrait workshops in my living room. I have enough space and height for lights, so I'm OK there. What I need is a way of transferring the image in my a700 to either a computer screen or a television so the the class can see what I am doing by just following the screen and not having to look at the ground glass, which really slows things down. Any ideas (especially inexpensive thoughts since the classes are free)? I appreciate any help out there. Thanks.
