What software do you use??

[Nodz86]

I'm looking to get some phot editing software but not sure what to get and the difference between them all, so I was wondering what you lot use.

 

I cant afford the stupidly expensive CS3 plus CS4 is due out soon aparently but Elements 6 is in my price range.

 

Also whats Coreldraw like is that any good.

 

The software is mainly going to be used for manipulating pistures and making skins for ETS and other games.

 

All help/opinions appreciated

Gimp or Paint.Net as a Photoshop Replacement.

[Andreas¹]

Yup Gimp has almost all option that Photoshop has, but is not quite as user-friendly.

Got texture on games I suggest using 3DMax.

 

But for what I make I've always used Photoshop Cs2.

i use cs3 looking at getting cs4 soon hopefully

[Nodz86]

The trouble with CS3 is its about £400+ and I can't justify that for how often I use it.

 

Whats the difference between CS and Elements??

[ExplosiveGoats]

I use Photoshop CS2. I also have GIMP.

Wow I'm quite old here: Photoshop 7.0

Photoshop Elements is useless, we have it in college and I can't stand it, very un-user friendly.

 

I'm not that Keen on Cs3 either, CS2 is the best for me, I've tried a lot of the Photoshop versions and CS2 is the best in my opinion, GUI is good, easy to use, most tutorials on the net are directed for CS2.

I use CS or CS2 but for what I do Photoshop 7 is still great.

[Pherelas]

I use Photoshop 7 and Paint Shop Pro 9 (use this for quick stuff, useless for most things (terrible for re-sizing for example)).

 

Have Photoshop CS3 at college but never use it.

Photoshop CS2. Never got round to upgrading to CS3, so will just get CS4 or something.

I have CS3.

[iBilo]

Same Mb. Photoshop CS3 Extended. :)

[BAk99]

I preferably use Macromedia MX Firworks 8, has a better al round interface and a like the image quality.

but Photoshop has some good features to it aswell.. tbh a use both on the same pics.:lol:

I use PhotoScape and Photobuket`s services.

Photoshop CS3, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4, Phohotshop Elements.

 

Adobe Photoshop and Cordel DRAW Photo-Paint work very simillarly. I prefer Photoshop, as that's what I've always used. However the person I sit next to in Graphics is able to do very good things with Photo-Paint too :)

 

However I still think Photoshop is ever so slightly better.

 

Paint.NET and GIMP are excellent free packages. GIMP is the best as they nicked code from Photoshop, then weren't allowed to sell it because of that!

[CarMadMike]

Photoshop CS3 :)

 

I tried the CS4 Trial, not worth buying at all

 

In fact, thats a good idea

Make an account on Adobe and do the month's trial for CS4, its free and you can use everything

[Latetzki]

Photoshop CS4.

[TDU 505]

Tbh GIMP is enough. I use PS CS3 and has used GIMP before and saw no real diff

[And3rs]

Photoshop CS4 (extended) :)

[KoenigseggBG]

I got Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.0.0 like 2 weeks ago and it`s great. :)

 

I also use PhotoScape 1.0.0.1290 and PhotoBucket. ;)

[ExplosiveGoats]

Photoshop CS2. :)
