Photoshop Alternative
I am new to FCP. I am importing stills and need to set image scaling preferences, set the grayscale, crop to 1800x1350x72, sharpen, save as Tiff and set my byte order. I realize that some of these can be done in iPhoto but not all. Is there a freeware or a less expensive alternative to Photoshop for these procedures?
Thanks |

I'll second PhotoShop Elements. Have not used the latest Mac version, but previous ones had a surprisingly rich feature set and behaved pretty much the same as the full version. I just got a free copy of the Windows version when I bought an Epson printer. Have played with it a little, and it looks good too.

Has anyone used PhotoShop Elements 6 to accomplish what I outlined in my opening? Let me further explain that the purpose of the workflow is to include still pictures into a video and have the option of pan, zoom and other motion effects without creating Moire flickering or other artifacts.
