I know not all of us use the same program for our digital art, so I was wondering what program all of you graphic artists use! It'll be kind of fun to find out who uses what anyway. I started my graphics designing hobby with Microsoft Picture It 6.0. It wasn't the best, but it did give me some pretty cool banners. I think I liked it because it was pretty easy to work with, great for beginners. Then my friend, Cat, pointed out to me that my banners didn't the greatest quality and could be even better, if I just had the right program. So she pointed me to The GIMP. Its like a photoshop for poor people.....So I downloaded the free(and legal  ) software and here I am now! Making all this great stuff. I think the program is only as good as its user, but maybe some day I'll have the pleasure of using photoshop *Sighs* So what does everyone else use?  |

Same as you (GIMP), i could buy Photoshop but it wouldn't work with my Windows version (98). So yeah... my first goal is getting XP.
Did you find any new tutorials Andrew? I still need a good site that has those.. i hate how my computer won't let me go to certain sites, mostly the ones i need.
BTW I've also used PSP in the past, i do like all the things you can download for that program but when you save things they can get grainy. It's a good program for manips though.
I also sometimes use PhotoFiltre, just for resizing and such.

I use Ulead iPhoto Plus 4. It's not the newest software but very friendly for use. |

Paint Shop Pro 8. I love it, and Photoshop does my head in, it's way too confusing.

Paintbrush and Microsoft Powerpoint usually ... sometimes, if I'm brave enough, I sneak into the lab and use Photoshop elements but his free and legal GIMP sounds cool |

On the brief occasion that I make myself an avatar, I use PhotoImpression4
But the text on that thing is somewhat bad.

I mostly use Photosuite4, which i got free with a digital camera. I think it is very easy to work. Blending is just a simple button and you work it to how much you wanted the 2 images to be blended. I also had Photoshop2 (which was free with another camera) but didn't have much that made me want to stick with it.

Photoshop 7.0
It's the BEST version of Photoshop as of yet. I had CS and CS2, but I could probably do well with them.
Oh well.

I just sent over a few Tutorials, and a how to do a snow effect on banners! Though, I don't think you'll need them since your banner making skills are awesome |
