What graphics program do you use?

[Vilandra]

Which one do you think is best?

[Rose Tyler]

I'm not that great with graphics just learning. I used to use Paint Shop but I prefer Photoshop now.

[Allycat]

I use Photoshop CS 2. Basically, I think both programmes are just as good; it's all about which one you start out with. You'll get used to the first one and it will be easier for you to learn how to work the subsequent editions of that programme, which I guess makes you inclined to stick with your guns. Hence, I am sticking with Photoshop.

I use Paint Shop Pro 8 for more plain banners, when I'm looking to make effect-ish banners I use Adobe Photoshop CS2.

[Carl Kolchak]

I'm a PhotoShop 7 girl. :D

[Celestial]

Photoshop CS2. I swear by it! I know it like the back of my hand, yet i'm still learning more and more about this wonderful program from Adobe. Awesomeness.

[prydain]

I use Photoshop

[Angels baby101]

i use paint shop pro either 7 or 8 but thats cause Adobe confuses me alot i have adoble 7.0 but i cant figure it out and it gives me a major headache lol

[Summers Blood]

I use Paint Shop Pro 7 but i am looking into buying either PSP9 or getting Photoshop.

I'm not really impressed with the effects I can get from Paintshop. I'm looking for something more professional.

[Angels baby101]

Well for someone who uses PSP7 your banners are way to amazing... Your blending is great ( i have tried and tried to blend with it but i cant...)

[Summers Blood]

Well when I first got it about a year ago, I was directed to a really good tutorial program on the net, unfortunately since then it has been shut down, but I luckily printed all the pages I needed. If you need any advice PM me as I can talk you through things step by step. Blending is easy, you just need to get the backgrounds to be a similar colour, then chose the correct tool and set the tool options to the right numbers.

Anyway PM here or at BB and I can talk you through it.

Maybe would you want to repost it? :)

[CrazyforRose]

I hate banner-making. I never waste time on it. I have Photoshop 7.0 and Paint Shop Pro 9 and 10 though.

[Summers Blood]

Maybe would you want to repost it? :)

Huh! Do you mean post the instructions to use PSP or the dead link?

[Vilandra]

The instructions lol ;)

[Angels baby101]

I think that would be a good idea if you did then everyone could read them and stuff :)

[Akasha]

i found Photoshop 5.0 in my dad's program cds today so i installed it and have been messing around a bit. its pretty cool

[Wesley]

I have Photoshop CS2. I usually use it for fixing pics for the year book. but when i get bored i sometimes mess around with banners. they look like crap so i never post them.

[Anita Blake]

I use The Gimp. Awesome brushes. Its an awesome program.

[Creative Name]

Well Photoshop is probably the best but, I myself use the Gimp because it's free and almost just as good....and I'm a poor kid.

[Anita Blake]

You and me both sister...:D

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I recently got this new program for my 18th birthday called the Print Shop 21. I'm not used to it yet but, its pretty good program.

[Black Eye Guy]

I use Photoshop 7, but I really want to but one of those explain it all book, cuz I know I'm not using it to it's full potential!

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I wish I had Photo Shop, everyone tells me how wonderful it is.

[prydain]

I know! It's so...extensive and complicated, lol.

[Black Eye Guy]

I know! It's so...extensive and complicated, lol.

It's unbelievable how huge the program is, I have had a few times where I was messing around and you find out a whole load of new techniques!

[prydain]

Yeah I know I don't even know 10% of the stuff it can do. And I don't have time to sit down and learn how to use it properly either, lol.

[Mesektet Ra]

I, also, heart teh Photoshop. .:hugs:.

Yea, the program is freakin' huge. I'm constantly messing around with stuff and looking at tutorials to find new ways to do things.

[Black Eye Guy]

Yeah the internet is really handy with it, like there are loads of tutorials and after doing them a few time you do start to pick it up and it gets easier to decide what would work best!

[Premonition]

I use Print Shop 12 and Paint. I'm cheap. *laughs*
