Hey Larry,
I missed the early part of this conversation. If you are looking for a very
good software package for putting together graphics on the cheap, Image
Ready by Adobe is great for the price. It has some of the functionality of
Photoshop (not as many built-in filters, but accepts all filter plugins
Photoshop accepts) including importing directly from a scanner, image
editing capabilities, auto color/brightness/contrast adjustments that are
pretty good, manual color/brightness/contrast adjustments, color variations
and some limited image generating tools like paint bucket, brush, eraser,
marque,etc. It's greatest strength is it lets you set the file conversion
and compression format for gifs and jpegs and view the results in a preview
mode. If you have over compressed or under compressed you just reset the
compression. It also tells you how big the compressed file will be while in
preview mode. Also, you can create drag and drop macros for mass image
editing that is pretty quick. Image Ready runs about $150 and I put
together all the graphics for the HLDC site and redid all the images on my
regular page using it. It was the best money I have spent on software and
on a per image basis probably cost 50 cents per picture to buy.
On a side note, I had trouble navigating to the graphics you were talking
about. Could you tell where they are again?
