What is a good photo picture editing software for free ?

I am into scrap booking. And would like to download a free photo editing software that I could use for that purpose? Thanks.

For light photo editing, Google Picasa, Paint.Net and FastStone Image Viewer are excellent.

For more professional editing, the Gimp is unmatchable in features. It rivals Adobe Photoshop to the very end.

How do I get true color on my computer monitor for photo editing?

I have a nice Nikon camera that I use to record moments in life and also for artistic expression however I have no idea how or what to do to get true color on my monitor for the photo editing in Photoshop and other photo editing programs. Can anybody tell me in a step by step manner what to do to accomplish this?

Two things. First – you need a monitor that is consistent in color representation from different angles. If you have an old CRT monitor – you’re done. It’s great in that respect, though does require calibration more often. If yours is a new and cool slick LCD – most consumer level monitors are horrible at that. The LCD monitors that are good at any angle bear Super IPS (aka S-IPS) panels and normally sell at $600-700ish or higher (up to a few thousand), depending on brand and size. If your budget does not allow for this expense – you need to adjust your sitting position such that you are level with the middle of monitor and looking straight at it at about 90 degree angle.

The second thing you need is a way to calibrate it. There are many devices that do it for you, such as mentioned Spyder, or the one I own and am very happy with:http://www.amazon.com/Pantone-MEU101-huey/dp/B000CR78C4 – when activated, this device is placed on your monitor, it will show different colors on display and will read them with its sensors to see how they need to be adjusted to represent the actual colors.

The poor mans version of this (again, if budget does not permit for one) is Adobe Gamma, which comes with Photoshop (not sure if it only comes with full version, or elements too though). You may be able to find it in your Control Panel (or in a few other places – read the info below). It basically does the same things as the hardware calibration device, but asks YOU to answer the questions of what you see on the screen and to make adjustments, until you see what you’re supposed to (such as it will adjust brightness until you can see the given number of shades of gray on the screen). It does not do as nice of a job, because you are a very subjective measuring device, but is better than nothing. Here’s more information on Adobe Gamma and how it works: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/321/321608.html

How do i change the background and perform various operations on windows vista?

I have a lenovo x200 tablet for school and would like to change my background, except whenever i try to or acess the control panel i get this message. "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" how do i change the background????

to change the backround, go in to control panel on the start up menu, it is in the lower left corner of your desktop. If it is locking you out it usually is because your profile is not set as administrator on the computer.

What is the market segment for graphic design services?

I am starting graphic design company and I am finding it hard to divide the market into segments. Does anybody know where to find this information?

As the business owner, it is up to YOU to determine which "market segment" you are going to go after.

I’ve got a feeling you don’t actually know what a market segment is…
