I’ve downloaded Paint Shop Pro XI, Bibble Pro 4.98 and I tried to download Photoshop Elements 5. PSE is a 450 meg download that took me five hours. When I tried to install it, I got an error. Five hours wasted on that one….
Paint Shop Pro will not recognize my camera’s RAW files (too new I guess), but I can play with JPEGs. Bibble recognized the RAW files. So far, I have to give the nod to Bibble. It’ll take me years to figure this software out entirely, but what I’ve figured out so far is pretty darn cool. It has Noise Ninja and it works wonders on some shots that I messed up and forgot my ISO setting was set to 400 (they had lots of noise). It cleaned them up very well. The Noise tool on PSP didn’t do as well.
I’m still playing and have an Elements try out disk on order. If I like it, I’ll try the mack-daddy version next.
