I loved using this program and used it daily. It creates fabulous effects on your photos. Since I switched to a mac, I haven't found a program that can do the work for me. Anyone know of something similar for a mac?

Nothing beats the original Photoshop, IMO. More work, but best results smile.gif

I have photoshop, but am not that good at the filter thingee.

ETA: Do you have any tutorials online that can teach me some?

I agree that photoshop is the way to go. You can try using the auto effects and play with the filters if you want to do very basic editing, but honestly, getting a really good book on the subject and learning how to properly use filters and masks and other effects will result in the best photos. Deke McClelland puts out a very readable book on the subject that will give you knowledge from the ground up (it assumes complete and utter unfamiliarity with PS).

Gaussian blur in Photoshop (see here for the basics).

iPhoto's 'edit' feature (when using the effects & adjust palettes in tandem) is definitely the easiest.

I like his stuff (click the tute for 'Pro Retouch'). His other ones have better sound.

So do none of you find virtual photographer good? Try it. It did wonderful filtering.

There's no shortage of photoshop tuts out there. If I need something, I usually just google whatever effect I'm going for + "tutorial" rather than browse specific websites.
