    I am looking to improve my map postings with some stronger visuals and maybe even some videography. Does anybody know of a good editor for either free or inexpensive? I've tried searching the internet with little success. This stuff is expensive!

    The GIMP. A bit of a learning curve but it's free and comparable to Photoshop in raw capability.

    Thanks, does it do video and images or just one or the other?

    I believe it only does images. You could also consider Paint.Net as another image editor. It supports layers and has some basic tools that you can use to make things look pretty.

    Yeah it's images only. I don't do a lot of video manipulation myself, just basic stuff in Windows Movie Maker for the brief previews I have on YouTube. (I also use a piece of freeware called wmvarchanger because Windows Movie Maker has a problem with generating videos in an aspect ratio that looks fine in Media Player, but goofy and squashed on YouTube. No idea why that is. But wmvarchanger fixes it.)
