Does anyone know a great free program or trial to make awesome banners on or edit Photo's?

Question

I write for this website and It would be amazingly cool if I could find a great program to make a banner for my story. I would ask around for someone to make me one, but I would like it so much better if I could make my own. I would use paint, but everything turns out crappy. haha enough said. So if you could give me a good link to an awesome program download for my computer so i can make banners and edit photo's (i want to make layouts to, but if it's just banners or something im perfectly fine) that would be great. I've been looking for about 2 1/2 months and i've given up. haha. please?? : 3

Answer 1

Serif photoplus 6 does the job if you're looking for an easy to use photoshop lite. It can do a lot photoshop can do, and for free.

You could also try The Gimp, but that has a steeper learning curve.

Answer 2

photobucket has a cool photo editor now, upload your pictures there and you can add lots of stuff to it, theres also microsoft publisher if you have one, also you can do a little bit of stuff like that on word i think, but i never got how you did it, the photobucket one is great i use it all the time

Answer 3

IF you go to a download site like download.com and search for "gif editor"

you will find all sorts of animation editors for making moving gif files.

Photo editors are separate.  Even Photoshop has a separate program for making gif animations.

THE GIMP is a great (free) photo editor.

There are several gif annimators.

Here's adobe photoshop cs3. It's the industry standard for all graphic editing. This is a 30 day trial, and should get you what you want.

Answer 6

for a banner, I would use serif drawplus.

For photo editing I would use serif photo plus.

Both are avaiable free from

www.freeserifsoftware.com

They are both legal, they are just older versions of the current program, but I find the older ones are better. After you install the programs, they ask for your email address and your name. They then send you the activation code through to your email. You have a seperate code for each program.
