Who Has A Macbook?

[OPC'n]

I have a Macbook and someone at work told me that I should have the capabilities in iphoto that photoshop has. This Macbook is fairly new to me...I'm use to Windows PC. So, if I do have it, I can't find it. Anyone know if this is true, cuz that would save me a bundle as I want to buy photoshop sometime soon but wouldn't if I already have something just as good.

Untrue,

Photoshop is way more feature rich than iphoto.

Ok not even in the same ballpark.

Like comparing a hotwheels car to a real car.

Josh is right. But I really enjoy using my MacBook. IPhoto does pretty much anything I need.

Mac is great, but not for photo shop, but why do you need photo shop, judding from your picture you are naturally pretty

iPhoto is to photoshop as Joel Osteen is to Jonathan Edwards.

Thanks, Martin, but I did doctor that pic. I'll put a real one on sometime. Thanks guys...guess I'll get photo shop!

Sarah, don't buy photoshop until you've at least given GIMP at try. Gimp is open source and free and does most everything photoshop does. I use photoshop for my job and iPhoto is not even close. I do have a MacBook but I have never tried Gimp. I think Josh Hicks might have tried it.

Try this first if you are already familiar with Photoshop.

Waitaminit! You all know that a ponytail is required for a male to own a Mac, right? I want to see photo evidence or I'm reporting you to Steve Jobs...

I really love photography and I do like making weirds pictures of myself. But I want to start doing things with the nature pic's I take too. I am going to try those links out! I want to start a portfolio of nature pics. Just like get the objects out of the pic I don't want...wires ugly buildings etc.

Well, I have never had a pony tail and I have had many macs.

As to the comparison of PhotoShop and iPhoto, that is a category error.
They are not the same type of programs.

iPhoto is a library program, PhotoShop is an editing program.
Other editing programs are the GIMP and graphic converter.

Well if the picture you a now using, is not "doctored" I stick to my first statement.

 

[OPC'n]

Martin, you are my new best friend! Big hugs to you! But I'm changing it back after supper!

 

[PresbyDane]

Well thank you My lady, one does try to always speak the truth, and being in good company is always of benefit.

Love my MacBook - converted last year but am still relegated to PC at work. As far as iPhoto goes it is a standard app when you get a mac and doing any type of strong editing would require other software as discussed above.

Go Apple!

Photoshop is nice, but make sure that is what you need before you spend the $.

Congrats on your Mac. After a few months, you'll never want to use a PC again.

I love GIMP. I actually used it on a last website project in which I had to slice the images.

 

[Skyler]

The biggest downside to Gimp is, I think, most of the tutorials and/or plugins for the really cool special effects are for Photoshop. Tutorials are usually figure-out-able, once you get the hang of Gimp--or if you use Gimpshop, from what I've heard--and there are some good plugins for Gimp, but they're not as common as Photoshop plugins.

On the plus side, they're usually cheaper than Photoshop plugins...

OK, a technical here. I use a MacBook, my hair is long, BUT, I don't do the ponytail! I think Steve accepts that!
