Is There Software To Handle .PSD Images? - other than Photoshop ...

Khymnon
Hello everyone,

Do you know any other piece of software that can handle the manipulation of .PSD images other than Photoshop?

I actually have Photoshop 8.0 CS, but I'd like to know if there was a simpler application to use.

I don't need any sophisticated tools, really. All I want is for that application to allow font and color editing of .PSD files.

Thanks in advance. Cheers. smile.gif

I know that PhotoImpression3 supports .PSD files, but it isn't a very good program, at least not as good as Photoshop. Maybe if I find some link I'll post it here. May I ask why you don't just use Photoshop? If you search for a somewhat easier application I think PI is a good choice. Hope I can find a link.

Actually, warbird, I wanted a lighter application. I have to do some work on a very old, very slow computer, and although Photoshop does run on it, it's insanely slow.

But what is PI? smile.gif

Thank you for replying. Take care.

Gimp has support for PSD files. I could save an image as a PSD file and then open it in Photoshop to slice it up for a web template. You can get it from here.

But isn't GIMP a bit heavy on system resources. It works fine on my personal computer, but I've heard it caused problems on older computers. I can't remember what its system requirements were.

Well, I should go check it right now. Thank you, abhiram. :-)

I have a program I've been using for a few years called IrfanView, it supports pretty much everything. You can also load your PS filters and apply them to your image in IrfanView. It doesn't use styles or blend modes, and I don't think you can add text, but it's really small and lightweight, so I use it mostly for resizing and making abstract wallpapers with the filters. If you're just looking for something to do the basic crop, resize, color, and filter... You should definately check this out. IrfanView

  7. Cannot Install Adobe Photoshop Cs3
    (30)
    Hi, I have been trying to install adobe photoshop cs3 for a little over a week now. The problem is
    when I'm installing at the end it says it has successfully installed shared components, but has
    failed to install photoshop cs3 and shared components. This is really annoying because nothing that
    I have found on the internet helps. Other people have had the same problem, but thats because they
    have installed beta versions, which I didn't install! I have tried the CS3 clean-up tool from
    adobe - that doesn't help either! The only other adobe/macromedia products....
  8. Anyone Tried Photoshop CS3?
    (25)
    Has anyone here installed the beta of CS3? If so, how do you find it? Do you think it's worth
    the upgrade? I don't know if it's only because it's a beta, but for one, it loads much
    faster than CS2 for me. I like minor things about it, such as the redesigned tools bar, the dynamic
    resizing of palette windows, quick select, and smart filters, but I'm not sure that's worth
    my money to go and shell out for it. The rest of the new stuff I wouldn't use enough to offset
    the cost. Here is a list of the new features: So what do you think? QUOTE A ....

    picture, it wouldn't crop all the way. It would crop to a certain point and then just stop and
    refused to go any further with the cropping box. It seems to only form squares and sometimes
    horizontal rectangles, but only to a certain extent. However, when I opened Adobe Photosho....

    Unfortunately for me, i hadn't made a copy of the CD myself and i feel so much regret and
    remorse over that incident. Still, i have to look towards the future. I've went to the Adobe
