There are, however, some readers of this blog who reside in other countries, such as Kikey in
I recently discovered a free photo editing software called Photoscape. Obviously, it is not as feature-rich as the expensive software from Adobe, but it is a decent alternative. Let’s see what we can do with Photoscape…
This is a picture of
I open this picture in Photoscape, and rotate it counter-clockwise by 2º. Now it looks much better…
Finally, I added some text to the picture. Here is the final result…
I'm guilty of using pirated softwares too. LOL :P But I don't use Photoshop. I only use Office to edit my photo. I'm so low-class. LOL :D
ReplyDeletepicasa also can do that but after that the picture will become bad quality. I notice that Photoscape did a very good job. might search more info abt it. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteUsing Picasa at the moment, thanks for the information of the free Photoscape...

You're welcomed!
Thanks for the tutorial! And thanks for mentioning about me..hehhe. I will try out Photoscape.
ReplyDeleteI had problems with getting my horizons straight particularly with landscape shots. I finally purchased a spirit level bubble for my camera and tested it out. Finally, I learned to get my horizons straight. Or else fix it with Photoscape.

hmmm, nice freeware woh, let me go and download that.. currently i'm using the most native applications to do my so-called photo-editing.. like MS Word and Paint only.. hope this Photoscape will be helpful :p
ReplyDeletePirates have families too.
ReplyDeleteIf we don't support them, who will feed their wives and kids? =(

ReplyDeleteIt's always better to get the picture right in the first place rather than correcting it in software.

Haha...

Photoscape definitely can do more than MS Word and Paint.

I can't say anything about the pirates...
True. Otherwise, we have to spend countless hours on front of the computer instead of shooting away.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I bought the spirit level bubble. But I still prefer shooting in RAW as you have more control over the end results.
Useful software. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteLOL at Shingo's comment.
用慣PHOTOSHOP

Amazingly I don't even know how to use Photoshop!

It's a recommended tool unless of course if your camera has the grid that helps to make sure your horizontals straight.
ReplyDeleteYou can purchase it at www.shashinki.com.

ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Guilty too! I think software piracy is just about in every country.
ReplyDeleteI tend to use free online tools when I travel (such as Picasa) because I don't have my laptop. They do the trick.
Softwares that came with my camera are good too. Most people who use Photoshop use it for basic correcting anyway.
