Okay so I was wandering what the best thing to make graphics would be.
I know photoshop is probably best but seeing as how it is close to $700 It's a little ridiculous. I only have free stuff right now like Gimp and Paint.Net which can't get me anywhere... So does anyone have any suggestions for some kind of program to get?? |

Why not just use one of the cheaper (or free) alternatives, such as The GIMP?

Photoshop cracks FTW There is a native OS X version, as well as a similar version called Seashore. Anyway, what's so bad about The GIMP (aside from the GUI, which is a bit wonky)? |

For starters it has 'experimental' in the file name. Second I would still have to install X11. Third it's just not as good. Theres alot of functions in photoshop that are not in gimp |

I mean, really, both programs have a ton of stuff that most people are never going to use. And if you don't want to install X11, get Seashore. It, too, fits the needs of almost all users (except maybe true professionals). |

I think that if you really "need" it (i.e., your job depends on it), you'll be able/willing to shell out the cash for Photoshop. I'm not against pirating software per se, but I don't see a need when there's a perfectly workable free alternative available. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that The GIMP (or a derivative like Seashore) will cover the needs of almost all users. |
