I need to create a photo image file, preferably TIFF uncompressed, with some text IN the photo, and more text below it, the whole file being printable as a landscape page. My Easytek Photo-Assistant 98 Light allows me to do that, but not to transfer that proprietary-code (plt?) file to, say, a Zip disk for delivery to a commercial printer. Do I really have to spring for Adobe Photoshop to achieve this? First, I am a geezer on a pension; and second, I don't want to devote the rest of my life (and hard disk) to Photoshop. Is there some program out there that will do it, something smaller, simpler, cheaper? SOS.

Many programs will save a file in proprietary format by default (for example when you click "File / Save", but if you do a "File /Save as..." then you can sometimes select different formats from the "Save as type:" box.

Why don't you try that, and see if the program offers you TIFF, which is industry-standard file type, as you pointed out?
