smithy1135 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Photoshop is the best although very expensive for a legit copy of it. If you dont want to spend anything theres always Gimp which is basically a 'dumbed down' version of Photoshop with a fair few less functions. I use photoshop and it has everything, i dont know what most of its features do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb2120 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Whatever you've got at the moment... I'd stick with it. You're sig is ace. Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks is a capable package and is more intuitive than Photoshop IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Google Results for Gimp Gimp is very good (and free), especially the new version soon to come out. I use Photoshop and Fireworks, they both have strengths and weaknesses, so sometimes it's necessary to save an image in PS then open it in FW, which is annoying.

dazzi220 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm put off by fotoshop's price tag, whats gimp like? can u do all the fancy stuff that u can with FShop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Its been a long time since i used Gimp but if i remember correctly it doesn't have all of the filter functions etc. than Photoshop does. It does have layers which makes life much easier for things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13SMD Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Gimp is a great product it's still in development and continues to grow but it needs time to learn. If your after something better than ms paint but not as confusing as gimp then try this. http://www.filehippo.com/download_paint.net/?2761 It deals with layers and some cool effects plus lots more. It started as a project by Washington University with the lead programmer getting a job at microsoft. Worth a look Oh and its free..

smithy1135 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I must say, piracy is handy for music but my friend has a website with downloaded CD's and random music on and the host reported his IP to the police and to his ISP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
