Which Graphic designing software are you using?

Recommended Posts

I'm so poor that Ihave to use a faulty, antiquated Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 2002. I'm saving up the money for Jasc Paint Shop Pro, though. I'ld like Photoshop, but I can't afford it.MPIPP is decent, but it doesn't do half the stuff I'd like it to. And I can't put borders on my stuff, so that really ticks me off.

I use the GIMP, although the UI isn't really user-friendly (you know...gtk). It crashes sometimes on Windows, but under Linux is pretty stable. Photoshop is too expensive, especially as a student. If you consider that Photoshop costs in the US about $ 650, and in Germany about 1200 euros, you understand why...

As a student you can get pretty good discounts at places like your colleges book store. I remember seeing macromedia products with a 70% discount there. So it isnt so expensive for graphical design students.

Photoshop is the way to go. I have Photoshop and PSP and while PSP is a very good program Photoshop is more advanced and offers many bigger things (such as the price tag <_< )

I have been using photoshop for a long time and i am happy with it. The new one i have yet to try but i am guessing it is good. Also jasc software - paint shop pro and animation shop are very useful. It all depends on the functions the software can perform.

I use Photoshop.It's actually the only one professional image-editing software I've tried, but I'm not having any problems with it, and am not planning soon to shift to Paint Shop Pro or something ...

I have to agree and say fireworks is probably one of the most powerful of its type and is reasonably easy to use even for complicated stuff...

Ok so, in past 2 years, while Im working as "designer", I'm using:- Photoshop - for image editing- Illustrator - for vector's- Acrobat & Distilles with Pitstop & QuiteImposing Plugins - for producing PDF documents- Streamline - for tracing vector's- CorelDRAW 12 - for vector's- Freehand - for vector's and some little layouting- QuarkXPress - for layout- PageMaker - for layout- 3d Studio Max 6 - for 3d modelling- Bryce 5 - for rendering, and some landscape building's..So.. that's about work, and for my personal entertainment i use... nah... that's has nothing to do with designing, but it's: Propellerhead's REASON. :)
