![]() Mar 21, 2011 - Hi, I'm hoping someone can recommend me software for the following usage. I'm looking to edit photos by using Selective Colour. I.e, retaining. I'm a recent switcher, have a Mac Mini running Lion. It's been tough finding substitutes for all my PC software but I'm getting there. One of the things I can't find is a Photoshop equivalent. I've got GIMP and would love it if it worked consistently, but sometimes it won't work at all, and since I edit photos for my work, I need something dependable. Here's the problem: I laid out quite a bit of money for my Mac Mini system and would like to find something either Open Source or very cheap. I posted the original query. This to report I ended up with Pixelmator - not free but certainly cheap at $30, especially compared to hundreds of dollars for Photoshop, and I'm quite pleased with it so far. Best thing about it is that it does some things BETTER than Photoshop. For example, when I use the crop tool, it shows me pixel dimensions as I move the outline, which my version of Photoshop doesn't do. And Pixelmator works fine with Lion so far - so many graphics/photo programs I've tried don't. I found Pixelmator because of suggestions here, and thank everyone for their suggestions. In my Mac newbie clumsiness and ignorance, I didn't know I had iPhoto, mainly because I didn't see anything that told me I had to activate it with my Apple ID. Today I discovered that. Anyone else still looking, if you didn't know you have iPhoto, now you know. Go to Apple App Store and click on Purchases. A window will come up telling you to activate several apps by entering your Apple ID (at the moment I forget what the other ones were). That's the ONLY way I found out iPhoto is bundled with Lion.
