I have to agree with this comment. Banner Creation software was pretty much made for script junkies, lazy people etc. I think if someone is going to make their time online as a viable business. It would be beneficial to learn software that allows you to go above cookie cutter scripts.
Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator are primarily the best software to create banners - I haven't seen anything thats much easier then those two!
I am a banner design professional and using Photoshop since 2001, and haven't find any alternative yet. 'Kerosene' was right. However, I think online banner design tools (like you mentioned bannermakerpro etc.) are not so bad to create a simplest banner quickly.
I'll go with there isn't a best software but rather go with the software you are most comfortable with. There are free alternatives that you may get on with better than paid solutions. Either way, research and go with the software that suits your needs it's only ever going to be as good as the person using it.
oh dear, every programme will require the same efforts....dont lose ur heart...if you love beauty then every programme is their for u.... start it now with a new passion... its pretty easy
Easy Banner Creator (Free Edition) can create animated or static banners. By using it, you will be able create rectangular banners with a text and a background. The program will let you select the banner´s width and height, in pixels. You can choose between three background styles: a solid color, a gradient of colors or a picture (the program includes several samples).
photoshop is evergreen software for photo editing or creating any illustations Logs. One can make reality objects in photoshop even you can create 3d objects in photoshop
You buy the software, but also need to have good ideas to design a banner, I just wrote an article today, you look 100+ Free Web Banners Templates for Web Designers You use our tool super free vector search engine to find "banner" can find more than 1000 + free and commercial banner and other any banners I think the most important thing is not a tool, but the design inspiration
What a Great THREAD Well as mentioned Photoshop Is the Best !!!! But if you are looking for a shortcut try - BannerShop GIF Animator! Good and Quick... Good Luck!
I am a Photoshop user, and have tried some others, but nothing really compares to Photoshop really in ease of use. There is a free one called Gimp thats about the closest comparible. And just recently i have been fooling around with a new product from the big G called Google Web Designer, i still dont have it down, but its definatly cool, well and free
I agree with Kerosene (you should consider just paying someone to make the banners for you.) If you still want to try photoshop alternatives, you might try "PhotoPlus Starter Edition from Serif" or "Serif PhotoPlus"
