Dude. Your question gets asked so often we even have a STICKY right here in this section called "Sticky: freewares for amateur photographers". Please, next time, do yourself a favor and READ or even SEARCH before posting.

hmmm.. why are you not open to free softwares???

GIMP does most of what photoshop can do.. but of course with the right plugins..

IMO Photoshop is in a class of its own where full fledge editing is required. Have you considered Lightroom 3 for organizing and doing simple adjustments of photos. It is relatively affordable at US$299.

Of course there are other commercial software. Have a look at this link

hi all senior

thanks for your input. it is not that i did not read the sticky. As mentioned in my post, i do not want to download free software as my pc is share with my sibling and i am running in 2mbs mobile internet too slow to download anything.

There is a difference between freeware and trial version of commercial software. Those listed in the freeware sticky is completely free and does not have a trial period.

I am still using 512kbps at my home. No problem downloading these installers.

The recommended free software does NOT just run on a trial period. GIMP is a good example. As for your download constraints, find a place with wi-fi or something. Software is not getting smaller.

 

[catchlights]

those softwares come with trial version are on commercial licence, they are not classified as freeware.
some members spends a lot of efforts doing research on certain topics, compiling what they know and make them into sticky thread, sharing their knowledge with others selflessly.

yes, I think you didn't read the sticky properly, please show a little respects to them by reading the sticky threads carefully.

You may want to consider to save $$$ for a PC + lightroom for your PP.

what's your budget? photoshop CS5 student edition is $119 only. that's as cheap as u can get for quality image editing software.

anything less than that, i think u'll probably end up wasting money - better to just carry on using the bundled software or even picasa or gimp, which is totally free.

 

[pinholecam]

I suggest you try the software mentioned in the sticky. The are freeware. No limited trial period.

I use freeware only for all my PP and its good enough. No need for pirated stuff.

Management, browsing, simple editing - PICASA
Advanced PP - Paint.net with plug-ins

In fact paint.net loads up and runs quite a bit of stuff faster than PS.
