As part of my recent laptop purchase, I got a free version of the ACDSee Photo Editor 2008, and I really like the parts of it that I've been able to figure out.
But all of the "how-to" articles I'm finding, both in the photo mags and online, exclusively give the cookbook instructions for Photoshop only. The names of the programs, and the functionality usage, doesn't cross over very well, and I feel like the tips I am reading about (mostly in Outdoor Photographer) would be very beneficial to my work.
Has anyone else found an ACDSee users guide in print? Their in program tutorials are too basic.
And/or, maybe the ultimate question, should I just go ahead and get with the communal program and get the Photoshop/plugins programs?
It would be worth noting that Im on a really tight budget.
Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
