Tools for Canvas Photo Art
The best tool for creating canvas photo art is without doubt
Adobe Photoshop. But for most people this is way too expensive, so I will
look at two alternatives.
If you like, you can try
Adobe Photoshop for free for a month. After that you can decide if it is
worth the money. If you have an old version of the program, you can buy an
upgrade version for less than a third of the normal price.
Adobe Photoshop Elements
Adobe Photoshop Elements
is a light version of Adobe Photoshop. But for most people this program has everything
they need for editing their photos – including making canvas photo art.
Adobe Photoshop Elements has also the tools you need to create canvas photo art
The program costs $99.99 and you can download a
free trial version.
If you are a student, you can buy many of the Adobe Products with a heavy discount. Visit Adobe Education Store to learn more about student discounts
ACDSee
ACDSee is a range of photo editing
software programs. The cheapest one for home use is
ACDSee Photo Editor 2008 costing $49.99.
A little more expensive version (costing $64.99) is
ACDSee Pro 2, but the $15 you get a lot of extra tools making this version
worth the money.
ACDSee Pro 2 is a fine alternative to Adobe Photoshop Elements
The major difference between
Adobe Photoshop Elements and ACDSee
Pro 2 is that you can control the art process better with the Adobe
program (by setting different parameters). If you do not care about that, ACDSee
Pro is a fine alternative.
You can download a free 30-day trial of both
ACDSee Photo Editor and ACDSee Pro.
