Attention! Options

[sweetdreamsx3]

I'm getting tired of seeing a bunch of topics such as "Can you use this and this.. to make this"

To make it clear, you can use any programs to make things! Just get some tutorials such as good-tutorials or look in the big book of resources for more tutorial sites.

If you want Photoshop, the free trial link is found here. If you want Imageready, you'll have to download that seperately unless you plan to buy it. Then it comes together, which means if you buy it, you get two programs at once. But if you download it, one program unless you download the other.

[[edit]]
actually if you download photoshop on adobe.com, it comes with imageready. that is a free trial though, so it will expire in 30 days. if you want to have the real thing, you will have to buy it or get it from a friend. - allthatglitterss

If you want Paint Shop Pro along with Animation Shop, you also will have to buy it. It can be found here. If you're using the free trial, then you have to download it seperately. Lots of tutorials can also be found not only at createblog, but if you google for some.

If you don't have any of those programs, but you have Paint. Yes! You can still create layouts, banners, etc. with it. Don't tell me it's not possible. Frankie_08 makes some awesome layouts and it is accepted as xanga skins!!! And you can even make your own swirls! It's found in the tutorials sections!

You can even use flamingtext.com to make a simple banner! It even animates things for you! And comes in different styles and whirly stuff. Yes, whirly stuff. -.-

Any questions? You can do anything with programs!

good points, thanks for bringing this up =]

to everyone else:

just to make one thing clear: cb doesn't support illegal downloading of programs such as using kazaa or whatever. you can do whatever you like outside of cb. plus you are bound to get some sort of virus so it's not worth it anyway.
