Mac photo editing

[allrightscud 0]

I'm trying to edit pictures to use as DVD menu screens and DVD/CD jewel case covers. Is there an application in iLife which allows this? If not anyone recommend software which would allow me to do this.

Thanks.

Can't you import your stills from iphoto to idvd for the menu ?

You can import photos directly from iPhoto into iDvd, but if you want to edit the picture first, you can use Photoshop or Photoshop elements (a trimmed down version of Photoshop).

Yeh I was wanting to edit the picture first, Stick a logo on and some face's onto a background. I had to edit it on my PC then e mail it to myself. I just thought that that with all the other great software you get with the mac that it would be able to edit as well. It sounds like I need to buy somemore software.

Thanks

There is a way. you will have to create a picture in photo shop and follow intricate steps to do it, let me try to find the tutorial I have it print out a website.

I don't have photo shop, which is, I think, is the inital problem. I assumed that if I could do it in paintbrush on my PC then I should be able to do it on the standard apple mac programs

The full version of Photoshop if you can afford it is one of the workhorse progams you'll use all the time.

Photoshop Elements if you can't afford the full version

However in the meantime there are plenty of freeware, shareware programs that will do what you want. But get your hands on a copy of Photoshop. Like Quade said... you will use it all the time.
