Are you serious? Poser is the program that runs slowest on my computer, like 2 times slower than Photoshop... At least on my computer...
... 2) it runs slower than POSER...
Nope! Pro Adobe PS is about $1700... No kidding... The thing is that Adobe PS has a bunch of pretty much worthless extra features that one could easily do without, but are included so that they could ramp up the price.
PsP, for its price, is the best value of the three. It has most, if not all, of the NECESARRY functions that PhotoShop has, but at a fraction of the price.
At the same time, it is much easier to use than Gimp or PS.
Well, I suppose Adobe Image would be good for that... If I could figure out how to access that function in PS....
And as to why I find PS so hard to use... Well, I've seen the manual for PS before (my brother went to Art Institute of Pittsburgh for CG), and there's a reason that the manual is about as thick as Webster's unabridged dictionary... If it were easy enough for your average Joe to pick up, then they wouldn't need a huge-arse manual like that.
I tried to play with PS a bit, but couldn't even figure out how to perform simple functions such as creating new layers or changing from 24-bit to 256 color and back.
Not only that, but PsP is compatible with a wider variety of graphics formats than PS (for instance, PsP can openany pallete files, obsolete formats and PS files, whereas PS can't open the old formats or half the pallete formats, including JASC .PAL fies or .PSP image files).
Wow, that's a rip-off. From what I read in the thread (btw I really did spark up a huge debate on this ) it seems PsP is much better, faster, and WAY cheaper.
Photoshop has limitless options, PSP has alot less cool stuff for cheaper
As I stated earlier for the price the best bet is PSP or Gimp if you do not wish to pay for a raster "paint" program. Personally I find the pen tool in PSP to be clunky and not intuitive to use so I stick with the adobe line.
Actually PS comes with adobe image ready and you use that to make animations with, also optimizations for web graphics. I'm surprised you find PSP easier to use, maybe its just because I'm so used to PS.
It's called "Image Ready", and it's a separate program, that comes together with PS. I personally found it very easy to use.
Really?
Let's take a look at what people said:
So where did you read it's much better?
And I told you how to do the simple things Hikaro said he couldn't find, you need 2 clicks for each!
And it runs slower for Hikaro, it runs just as fast as PsP on my computer (and yes, I have both, and tried both).
The only real thing in your post is that it's much more expensive.
Wow, so why did you need to use the most annoying smiley ever to tell me that?
I wasn't aware it was that annoying, maybe you're just in a bad mood.
No. I wasn't in a bad mood. Do a search in Site Feedback for the word "rolleyes". See how many regular users and mods said they hate it.
Over my dead body, you freaking weasel-mods!
I'm sorry, did you say over your banned body?
Did I hear that right?
Oh man...thats siggy quality stuff right there...I'm sorry, did you say over your banned body?
Paint.NET (which has nothing to do with MS Paint or MS) is also pretty good and free.
What is it good for? Tell me some about it? Is it just like another paint program?
