^^why don't ya use GIMP this time, i mean its not a resource hog and do the job as nicely as photoshop.
Note: See the GIMP thread in Open Source section.

Why pirate when you can do things with free ? nevermind

GIMP... I tried many times... but photoshop is photoshop... nuthin came close.
Well, I do use Photofiltre sometimes.

^^ GIMP Rocks as much as Photoshop..

Any way to restore the original color of the black and white photo ? Here i think we choose the colors , but i have some old photos which are in black and white and i need them in color. How will we do that

Btw GIMP is not photshop

It supports photoshop brushes and various other flexible features.

That work is quite impressive.. T159... for GIMP work.
Still... I'm the perennial photoshopper.

aare chal ek thread chalu kare flight club me "Photoshop Vs GIMP"....

 

[koolbluez]

Such a simple man.. Gandhi..
He just doesn't give me a chance to color him too.
His light dressing style... khadi dresses... just don't incorporate color to experiment on. Bad picture to choose. Low quality too. Real shoddy work from my side. But as I already said that I'll post a colored photo of the same.
