crehl 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 I can't really vote here (but I have - PSP), because I haven't tried PhotoShop, but PSP is great, and although I am only using ver5 (My sis lost the 7 disc - grrrr!), It still is fine for me, although I have managed to crash quite a few times, but other than that PSP is fine, especially if you have the money to spend on it. If you don't really want to spend much, then go for the Gimp. Although I see psp better than the gimp, the gimp is better value for money. As for PhotoSHop, I haven't a clue what it's like, but maybe Ill by it noe day... but right now I'm saving up for a new mobo and a 64-bit cpu.Oh yeah, here are two pics I made in PSP in around 5min each:[edit]The second one's a bit dark, going to edit it quickly and re-upload.Ok here's the one i edited and another one(Both use the same technique): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xnitzax 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 *jumps in*I used to use PSP7, when i just started, which gave me the basic tools for graphic-making, and then i started using PS7, since i got it for free and thought i'd see what's the diffrence. I kinda hated it at first, since it was all so complicated, but i've learned to use it, and, after using both programs, i think PS is alot better. I think that using PSP7 first, though, was important. I'd recommend other graphic makers to start using PSP7, and then move to PS, i think it'll be easier then to start off with PS and not knowing what you're doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dungsport 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 PhotoShop is much better I think since every professional designers using it. PaintShopPro??? I used to use it (i think version 5) and felt really bored, just like M$ Paint Pro, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rapisten1405241486 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Photoshop the thing is that you can get more support and it got the most tutorials. So if you start with colors buy the best not the stripdow and then the expensive it will be too expensive and you will have problems when you change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kraizii88z 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I use Paint Shop Pro8, because i've never really used Photoshop before. It's really a lot more affordable, so i like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepesdrac 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 i prefer Photoshop anyday because it has a much more professional layout. PaintShop Pro comes off to me as more of a beginner friendly type program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finaldesign1405241487 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Photoshop is industry standard for graphic design and DTP. Everyone know that. There is no need for ever making a discussion on that subject. So, my vote goes to Photoshop. It's widely known as one of the best softwares for image manipulation that money can buy today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d'vampress 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Adobe Photoshop!!! You can make a lot of cool abstract with it if you're really creative. And it sure has more cool features and good stuff than Paintshop Pro. But if you're just a beginner, try to use Paintshop first because it's much easier. Even though Paintshop is cheaper than Photoshop, so what? Quality is better than quantity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dream1405241490 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 A photoshop nut myself because everything on the web is bascially geared for photoshop all the brushes, tutorials everything is photoshop so bacically its hard to use anything else. Well I use photoshop and Paint (muahaha ph33r m3 1337 skillz!) cause it takes forever for photoshop to load even on my high end computer so I use Paint for just basic cropping stuff and only use PS if I have too (Although PS is bascially constantly open on my computer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimi_m 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 PLEASE, theres no comparison. Photoshop all the way... theres a reason it's industry standard and PSP isn't, you know. Plus theres just so much more you can do with Photoshop. SO much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maybe Skate Team 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 I made the transition long ago, I bet all of us started to mess around with PSP and then decided to advance to something more better! PS was that step up that is why everyone uses it so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mahanon 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 I use Photoshop CS for everything that I do for school, it is a great program I also use it to work on images of the Illustrations I have done after I have scaned them onto my computer, Photos as well I think is is far more reliable to use the Paintshop Pro even though I have it on my computer, I should probably take it off sometime.
