Re: [Utah-astronomy] Too good to be true?

Long time listener, first time poster. Why not try some of the free tools that are available. The Gimp is a nice, free alternative for photoshop. In many ways it's more scriptable in terms of running changes on a batch of images. Gimpshop is a derivative of the Gimp that is supposed to clone the menu configuration of photoshop that runs on os x and possibly windows. www.gimp.org http://www.gimpshop.net/ pyraf is a python wrapper to the IRAF that the pros use. It adds some GUI functionality and is also free. http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyraf -Bill Fenton
