Which software do i want?

I am an up and coming graphic designer who loves every aspect of making images and making them look 10 out 10. but my first question to everyone at digitalpoint is what software do you recommend the most on windows?

 

Photoshop You can also use Flash .. That depends on what type of graphics you want to create.

 

Photoshop def. you can do anything with it but the thing its a paid software, the good alternative for it is Gimp that also has a lot of features but still is far away from the possibilities of photoshop so go with PS if you want to create something 10/10

 

I thought so already guys, just wanted to see if anyone said anything different than that which I had over seen. Thank you all very much for your replies and help.

 

IMO, the question is a bit too generic. For some purposes such as logos and anything else that requires vectors, Illustrator is far superior to Photoshop. For web layout, I'll take Fireworks over Photoshop any time. Photoshop shines more for image manipulation and painting.

 

You could get a Adobe "master suite" that has PS, Illustrator and a couple of other programs

 

Photoshop!
