PC version of NIH Image (and other stories)

[Paulo Magalhaes]

Greetings,

A while back I posted a question to the 'methods-reagents' newsgroup
regarding software. Now I believe I'm in the right place :)

To cut a long story short, we need to find good PC alternatives to
Mac's PhotoShop and Image 1.44. Our knowledge in this area is summarized
in the next few lines:

* Image Master, from Pharmacia - it sounds pretty good, but the price is
  ridiculously high...

* PhotoShop for Windows - does this program do exactly the same thing as
  the Mac version? Who commercializes it?

* QuantiScan, from BioSoft - does this program do the same as Image 1.44
  (for the Mac)? Does anyone have any experience with it? It seems as if
  it is a good alternative, but we'd like to know a little more about it
  before we take the plunge. Price, anyone?

* AND AGAIN: we're still looking for a PC program that provides the same
  features as Image 1.44 - amongst other things, we need to quantify and
  print autoRs... Your suggestions will be much appreciated.


That's all for the time being :)

All the best from Copenhagen,

Paulo
