Is there a photoshop area on the forum

'fraid not, most folks use Photobucket and the like

Having re-read your mail - I don't think that was you're question

just a thought, lots of sites of this nature use photoshop to adapt photos of their vehicles, to see if the mods they are planning would look right, then share with other members and invite their comments.

Photoshop costs a complete arm and a leg - CS4 is about £600 !!! Dunno about you, but I'd rather buy a spare set of steel wheels and tyres for that money. Photoshop Elements is a lot cheaper - about £70, I think and does everything that most folks would want to do. I don't think it has "curves" but you can get a freeware Photoshop plugin that is very similar.

There is an open source (i.e. it doesn't cost you anything at all) photo editing application that is almost as powerful called Gimp that you can download here: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

All of these tools have a steep learning curve. I've been fiddling with Photoshop 7, on and off - mostly off, for a year or two and am still a complete novice.

Cheers
Andrew

All i do know at this stage is that other forums use this kind of thing without having to pay out that kind of money. it would never get off the ground if people had to pay.
Was just an idea. Ill still ask my lad and see if its feasible.
