Like many others, I enjoy processing digital photos. In the old days I played in the darkroom, now I like to think that my computer, plus software, is my digital darkroom. So, what do I want to do? I want to be able to selectively crop whilst maintaining a fixed aspect, usually 7 x 5 because I print on paper 7in x 5in and I want the print to be borderless. In addition I want to be able to adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, colour casts and to be able to remove or change bits of the photo to improve the end result. Not a lot is it? The only application I have found which will give me all of the few things I use is Gimp. I know there are those who say Gimp is too complicated but, by a bit of judicious selection, a relatively few key presses, plus patience. gives me my end result. I am no whizz kid at the keyboard (79 next week) but I would happily try to explain, to anyone interested, how to go about things. Perhaps it could make a useful subject for a video or perhaps there is a piece of software other than Gimp to give the same end result. Norman All strength to your arm. I suggest you use iphoto as a standard to aspire to. I eagerly await the results of your query. Otherwise a thickie's guide to an iphoto sort of selection from Gimp would be useful and if some wizkid can make one up to look like iphoto, so much the better.
