Where To Get A Free Graphics Editor

While it is true that the graphics on a web page don't do the selling the words do, it is also true that most pages have them because they help capture the attention of your site visitor.

Now creating good looking graphics for your site can be done through some expensive software like PhotoShop. However for those who don't have the money to buy or the time to master an expensive package there is a very popular free and easy alternative called Irfanview. You can get a free copy at:

http://www.irfanview.com


I've been using Irfanview for a couple of years and find it works very well. It allows you to do things like capture screen shots, crop images and change the colors of your graphics. And it works with many types of images like gif, jpg and bitmap and will convert 1 type to another.
Now I learned about Irfanview thorough a very useful ebook

called "How To Master Web Graphics In 10 Easy Steps" by Louis Allport.


In this ebook Louis not only tells where to get Irfanview but also has videos showing some of the things you can easily do with it. So today rather than write instructions on how to do something I am giving you access to 1 of the videos in his ebook.

To find out how to add text to an image using Irfanview, watch the video at:

If you have a slow internet connection or your browser is messed up like mine, please allow time for the page to come up. I've tested the link and it works it just takes a long time to come up for some of us.


To Your Success,

Susan
