Is it possible to put in a subforum for photos, so some one who has a new pistol or rifle can post their pictures in, So it won't get mixed up in the general discussion, and keep things in one area
I did it in Photoshop. I can understand not putting up too many forums on a small but growing site as some of them would collect dust, but as the site grows this can be something we should consider.
Photoshop Express is an online feature that offers some limited abilities to edit photos, but it's primarily an online album. If cost is your limiter, you can get a copy of Photoshop Elements at Best Buy or Circuit City pretty reasonable. Although it doesn't have all the features that a full blown copy of Photoshop has, it is still very capable. Although I have CS2 on my Mac, I have a copy of Elements on the laptop I use as a digital darkroom and it fills the bill nicely
You can buy Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac directly from Adobe for $89.99. I recommend it if money is an issue. I don't know much about Gimp so I can't help you there. CS2 is Photoshop Creative Suite 2 (the newest version is CS3).
The full version of Photoshop CS3 is around $650.00. If you know a student, faculty or staff member of an accredited institution of learning, you can get a discount. But it will still run about 350 or so. You might be able to get a better deal on ebay, but not by much.
