I have little experience with graphics apps and Photoshop seems like one of the most popular programs so I figured I might get a variety of good opinions here. If there’s a more appropriate newsgroup for my questions, please let me know.
My wife and I just got back from two weeks in Europe and we want to make a slide show from our jpg files. Our editing requirements are simple: Rotate, crop, enlarge, and save the resulting file. We also want to rearrange the display order for the slide show. I have to wonder if Photoshop isn’t way more program that we need for this.
I can connect my computer to my big plasma screen for the slide show. I have ACDC, which does a pretty good job but I don’t know how to reorder the slides without going through the hassle of rerumbering the files. Another possibility I am aware of is to use Powerpoint to make the slideshow and burn it onto a DVD with a runtime engine.
Should I buy Photoshop (Elements?) for my editing or is there something free that has a pretty good user interface? Please advise a newbie on some good options.
