Program to alter photos?

[jacksmomma]

What program do you use to alter your pictures? I am looking for something that will allow me to leave portions of picture color while making other areas black n white, etc. I also need something that does not cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

I personally use Creative Memories - Memory Manager 3.0

It is very user friendly and able to make certain things black and white, eliminate items from backgrounds, etc.

I really like photoshop elements.

and you can download a nice, free 30 day trial just google photoshop elements free trial (I currently have a phobia of links) .

Also, there's an awesome freeware program called GIMP. Completely freeware and very close to elements.

download the free software Gimp 2.6
once you have that, just google 'gimp black white color tutorial' - its actually a lot of fun once you get the hang of it

If I remember correctly, I think Photobucket has the capability to do that and more now, for free!

If you get a Wacom Bamboo Craft ($129), it comes with the following:

•Bamboo Craft tablet
•Bamboo Craft pen
•Quick Start guide
•Installation CD (includes driver software, interactive tutorial and user's manual)
•Software DVD (containing Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac, Corel® Painter™ Essentials 4.0, Nik® Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 WE3)
•DVD with 26 scrapbooking lessons from Jane Conner-ziser and a library of digital craft embellishments
•Offer for free 8" x 8" photo album from Shutterfly
•Offer for free online store from Café Press
•Offer for free one-year subscription to Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine
•Offer for free online training with DigitalScrapbookPlace.com

It looks like a pretty good deal. My DH got me a Bamboo tablet and pen, but not the craft package because he couldn't find it at the time. Considering the price of Photoshop Elements alone is around $70, the package is quite a deal.
