Never tried GIMP and don't really plan to.

I have PS Elements and Corel Painter Essentials as they came with my tablet, but I already have CS2 so I don't use it. Gave the other program a try though, kind of nifty.

A: Family.

I use Photoshop CS3 Extended ^^ really fun. I also use all of Adobe's other programs lol. I don't really like using GIMP. And if you're wondering why I get all these programs its cuz im studying to become a game developer lol.

Gimp isnt that hard :D Least i dont think so... Learned how to animate things and do a bunch of junk on it.

But i use Gimp (Dang I need to redownload that)
Photomax pro (NOT PHOTOSHOP)
and Paint

Like i use paint for coloring stuff its so simple and the mouse is easier to control on. But then i do it like pixel by pixel. Takes bout 30 min. for a simple coloring iwth a bit of shading.
^.^ but yeah.



and Photoshop is overly expensive o_O

I guess the CD Key Code, for Photoshop and yay!I got it!....once, but big bro had to delete it :(...and I forgot the code because it was random guess

Yeah, alot of people who have photoshop didn't buy it ^^;; I didn't.

but you're mother did... you're not admitting to piracy, of course lol ;)

I got a copy from my graphics teacher duuuuuh.
Lawl, my mom would never spend that much money on me.

How about I have the program and I cant figure it out. I opened it up and thought :eek:. Closed it, and have never clicked that damn icon again.

You can go on the internet, like your now =D, and look for tutorials. They teach you how to make effects and use the different features the program has.

My graphics teacher had to make the majority of the class do some cuz they didn't know anything about photoshop.
