i want to get a graphics software for making banners, logos, flash animations, gif's, glossy images etc, which of the following do u think is the best, alternatively if you know something else which is affordable please suggect!!! 1. Photshop(very very expensive, complicated layout) 2. Paint shop(still expensive , never really tried) 3.xara (affordable and suppodisly easy to use) thnx for ur suggestion
I also would recommend Gimp - I use it since my earliest www years or if you want to go really professional and use vector graphic formats - then go xara extreme ...!
buy from someone cs\cs2 version of photoshop on Ebay or something.. best way to get the best quality software in cheap price.. GL!
I got my photoshop from a school teacher, I am not a seller =/ Try the adobe photoshop 30 day trial and see if you like it?
I would recommend PS. It does take a while to move around, but in the end, it is way ahead of any other software in terms of features and flexiblity it provides. As suggested @ ZoharBlur, you may consider a 30 day trial before you take the final decision. Cheers GS
i have tried both, but i really can't afford photoshop, although all the cool designers use photoshop
I got my copy of Photoshop through a school discount. If your in school, try talking to your schools CTS Administrator and they may be able to hook you up with a massive discount. It’s how I got a lot of my soft ware including XP.
try gimp, with the addon that makes the gimp workflow like photoshop. gimpshop i think it was called but i dont quite remember.
GIMP really is excellent. There are many tutorials out there that will show you how to use the program for good results.
