UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Design, Style and Graphics Graphics Vote

Ok, I thought I'd start up a vote topic here on what you guys think would be the best graphic software out there on the net. I realize that many of you may have different opinions, so be sure to keep in mind that I'm also asking if the software is worth its price.
Now for my vote, I would have to say Adobe Photoshop 5.0 would be a great tool for images. As many of you know, 5.5 is very expensive ($999), and the version 5.0 is a bit cheaper I think.
My top 3 choices would be:
1. Photoshop 5.0
2. Paint Shop Pro 5
3. Paint Shop Pro 6
I also hear that Microsoft realeased a graphic software too, I think it's about $60-100, but I forget what its called.....

photoshop 5.5 is my graphics program of choice, but not without a few plugins and actions, of course! and v6.0 should be on its' way to my doorstep right about now...

Hehe...oh yeah I just remembered that Version 6.0 is coming out soon. Does anyone here know if PSP 7 is out yet?

Ok ill Normally start with Fireworks then depending what i wanna do ill use Adobe Photoshop 5.5 or Corel Photopaint 9

Ive tried Paintshop pro once and dropped it off cos i didnt like it at all..

So I guess id go for Adobe first then Corel but you aint included that and seeing as you have listed Fireworks

From what I hear this is the order of votes from PSP (Paint Shop Pro), I saw this in an older thread somewhere....

1. PSP 5
2. PSP 7
3. PSP 6
I've heard that people have decided to degrade themselves to older versions, cause the newer ones suck...
I don't know though, I myself have PSP 5, but I don't want to purchase Version 7 just yet...

Okay you'll lvoe this..

I use :

CorelDraw 5.0
Paintshop Pro 4&6 + Animation shop
Crystal 3d Impact pro

Mostly I use Paintshop Pro 4, to lazy to learn the new one..LOL




------------------

heh...Paintshop Pro 4? Is that any good?
I'm not sure but I think I've tried Corel Draw, or was it Corel Graphics Suite? Well either way, it was too confusing for moi..
hehehe....

For simple graphics, PSP4 is the best! 5 and 6 have too much "fluff" and iritating menus etc LOL

PhotoShop is good, ImageReady too

me

I can't quite remember but... I didn't think PSP4 had layering capabilities which was one of the important additions to PSP5. (I have 5 and 6 but use PSP5) I'm watching PSP 7 which has included many digicam features that are supposed to be great. Photoshop is very good and PhotoImpact isn't bad but I use PSP the most. Even with 256 RAM Photoshop is a system resource hog when I use it.

Id use fireworks for fancy text effects yeah true all the otherswould do it as well although you can use fireworks to design a web site in using the frames take a look at my main page http://djindego.speckz.com and check out the button there at the top
