Do you use PhotoShop?

[PhilG]

Hi All,

Just a quick question. It seems like Photoshop is the only real professional tool to use, so I was wondering what app do you use to design your web pages?

I used to use the version of Photoshop I had when in work, but since I left that particular job I've gone back to using PSP 7. Personally I think it's just as good, except for the excellent ImageReady program that comes with Photoshop.

PSP is far far cheaper though, which is a big plus for it.

[DoN]

I use photoshop 7 as well. I see loads who want to learn it. You can make real good graphics. Also awesome skins for vb forum is made from photoshop.

I've tried using PSP, but I've always found it so confusing. I started designing with PS, so it's always been much simpler for me to use, and the outcome with it is amazing.

Actually i use Ulead PhotoImpact. I agree that its not AS powerful as PhotoShop but its easier to use and ive created some decent stuff with it.

I use Paint Lol :P


(and photoshop)

[PhilG]

Paint! OMG, I love that tool

:p:

[KeithMcL]

How could anyone use Paint :eek:

[moagw]

The really important point is that all of the above mentioned programs, and some freeware (GIMP.. etc) all do the same things. MINOR differences. Those minor differences are not important for the artistic among us, but rather for those of us who AREN'T artistic. A real artist could use paint for EVERYTHING. That being said, and having used almost every program imaginable, I stick with paint for almost everything. If there is something that i want to do good/quick I try GIMP (which is free). Anyone ever heard of/used GIMP?

I use Photoshop 7, I love it. I have tried to use PSP but i just cant seem to get it as easily as Photoshop.

[KeithMcL]

I've gotten a copy of Photohsop 7 including ImageReady so I'm a happy camper once again :D

[MayheM]

I use PS and PSP. I typically use PS when I want to create a large project or have some major clean up to do.

But if someone wants something quick and dirty like a basic logo idea, I will often use PSP.

I also use infraview to convert and open various graphic types, oh and AcdSee to browse pics!

I use Photoshop I think this is just the best image creator and editor if you know how to work with it. After using it like 3 years I still find new things that amaze me.

[wacko]

I use both PS7 and Fireworks MX. Fireworks is great for most things and if I need heavy detail then I switch to PS.



Wacko

[varteju]

I use photoshop! I've tried Fireworks but...i've given up in couple of hours. Photoshop is simpler and i think the results are much...much better!

[HelluvaHost]

i think fireworks is a lot easier. photoshop is too confusing for me.

I use Photoshop to design images, but I can't imagine anyone using it to design WEBSITES.

[Trigger_this]

I use Photoshop 7.0 really want CS.

Photoshop is easier?? Thats hard for me to believe, I think of Fireworks as a basic PS.

[jd-inflames]

I use PS. Can't get what I need done with Fireworks. Ever.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

I use Photoshop 8 CS

[dk40k]

I use Jasc Paintshop Pro only because its a smaller program, takes up less space on my hard drive. But I would love the latest Photoshop.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

yeah it has a new render, fibers

[dreammiku]

I am using FIREWORKS id its related to web design but i do use Photoshop if its related to print media.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

print media? like out of your printer

[dk40k]

Macromedia products are awesome too! I like em but wish I had a bigger hard disk drive for them.. I am going to start and save.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

I used to use flash I've probably forgotten how to work the program now

[dk40k]

I wanted to learn how to make flash movies/games but it takes too long just to make a decent one. It's nice to obtain the knowledge though.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

i made one where u click this guy and it makes a sound in my computesr classfadfa a

[dk40k]

But either then flash, java is pretty nice to learn or know, I've made a random number generator before :P

[SSJ2 Gohan]

is there a program you can use for java?

[dk40k]

of coarse there's a program you can use for java.. its Java, most computer have the basic versions.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

no a program to design java scripts

[dk40k]

There probably are some out there that can generate small java scripts, or step by step easy making of java scripts. But normally everyone just makes it theirselves or find em.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

oh...well back to photoshop...with that u can design ur own graphics, make them from scratch

[dk40k]

Thats one of the main points of photoshop.. so people can design stuff from scratch.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

yeah, you can make some cool stuff...start with clouds and do stuff with that or just a pure color

[dk40k]

btw, if you made those pics with photoshop at ur site, then your good :P

[SSJ2 Gohan]

:D yep i made the layouts

[wisetool]

I tried both software, but still prefer fw. I think it is simple for me, especilly in all web stuff....
