Hi guys,
I'm in need some photo editing software with decent text editing facilities... it needs to have text to path (mostly just circles) and have text effects (mainly shadows and borders).
I currently use Photoshop which I love but I need to buy something... and Photoshop is expensive (and in many ways excessive).
Is there anything cheaper or free out there that can offer these text editing facilities along with relatively simple photo editing tools?
Just to add to this...
"GIMP" - yes I know, but I have tried and tried and don't get on with it at all... and the text effects I'm after have to be done manually... I think.
"InkScape" - Great for the paths but lacks the photo editing bits.
"You can easily add text effects manually with layers" - yeah I know, but I do this ALOT as part of my job, so a "border" button etc seriously speeds up my day.
I've looked at every lower cost package I can find but I'm struggling to find an answer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys.
