I have two graphics programs I actually use. GC is one, ColorIt!(which is a tiny fraction of the cost of PhotoShop and does all the things I need it for) is the other. They overlap a bit, but not enough to give up either one. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

From: Robert Peirce on 31 Mar 2010 21:22 I had a situation where I needed one or the other. Ken Rockwell showed a way to add your address to the wallpaper on an iPod Touch that I thought was pretty cool. I was able to get the image on my MBP, but then I had to figure out what to do next. He used PS, which I don't have. PDFpen allowed me to write on the image and save it as a PDF. GC would have allowed me to convert that to a jpg or tif, but I didn't have GC either. Grab allowed me to grab the part I needed and save it as a tiff. I imported that into iPhoto, synced and turned the image into wallpaper.

Ebay? typically about $50 or so, and it's often bundled for free with hardware like cameras, scanners, etc.
