<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3824312, member: 19463&quot;]I get a kick out of Ken calling Word/Powerpoint the &#039;poor mans&#039; alternative.&nbsp; I refuse to have anything to do with Office 365 leasing so switched to Open Office which is free but requires learning a few differences.&nbsp; It does what I need in word processing and spreadsheets but I have not looked into using it for this purpose.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is no reason to buy full Photoshop for coin editing.&nbsp; I use Photoshop Elements but that is mostly because I am used to it and too lazy to switch brands.&nbsp; I have a perceived need for a program that will allow working in 16 bit until the final conversion to JPG for my non coin shots but that rarely is important on coins where lighting is controlled. Elements does 16 bit but not all do.&nbsp; I do RAW conversion using Canon DPP 4 which is free with the camera (you download but have to provide the serial number of the camera).&nbsp; This thread reminded me I had not downloaded the latest version for a while so I did that yesterday.&nbsp; I recommend Canon software for Canon users but that program does not allow manipulations like combining frames or cropping. It is wholly for tone/density adjustment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
