I've noticed that the latest edition of Digital Photographer magazine says it comes with 'free image editing software worth £59'. Does anybody have this magazine and know what software it is? And is it any good?
Thanks
 
If you read the small print it's only the first 100 new subscriptions that get the software.
 
I think its Serif's Photoplus 10 which has been superceded by several updates so it wouldnt be worth £59.
Interestingly, I had a copy of Photoplus 11 with a magazine earlier this year, I installed and registered it then started receiving offers of Photoplus x3 for £9.99 while x4 was the current version, then when x5 was released recently, got the x4 on offer for £9.99 which I'm using at the moment.
Its quite a good editor, with hdr photomerge, layer masks etc. The raw editor is pretty basic but I tend to edit those in Canon's raw editor then transfer to Photoplus.
 
Thanks for the info chaps, I think I'll give it a miss then.
 
At one time Tesco were doing a photo editor software (haven't seen it for a while) it appeared to be near as damm it photoshop 7.0, it was £9.99 when I saw it.

Intriguing... I remember seeing that ages ago, I might have to check my local store when I'm next there. How old is PS7?
 
I used photoshop 7 as my main software for about 6 years but now also have lightroom and photoshop elements 9.

Although notionally superceded (pse9 has a newer rendering engine) ps 7 remains on my computer. The reason is that neither of the others are as good at partial colour changes e.g. sky tones and it provides the best curves manipulation.

So if your current software doesn't have friendly curves or layers imho Tesco is worth checking out
