Graphics programs

Nymph · 10-22-2007

Hey all, I had a major PC crash last week....actually the dang thing died, so I bought a new one. I was able to recover everything, and my new one is just about all loaded with everything I need except a graphics program. I still have the one I had been using, but it's a bit out of date (photoshop4.01).

I don't do any high end graphics, just mostly retouch pics, and title banners.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest any other program that would at least be comprable, if not better than the old one.

Thanks in advance

Paint Shop Pro by JASC (now part of Corel) is what I use.

If I need anything that requires a more sophisticated graphics program I outsource it.

I actually do have that one too, I think version 7.02 or something like that.

Version 7.02 is what I'm using, haven't found a need to upgrade.

I never really used it much, I knew photoshop better. Are there any add-on filters you can get for it? I had a lot for photoshop.

Most of the photoshop filters will work with it.

Paint Shop Pro is fine. If you have version 7 you should be all right.

If you need a new Photoshop program hit Ebay. You can find them for very reasonable prices from reputable sellers.

A vote for The Gimp

As the man said, very capable once you learn how to use it properly.

That's the biggest reason I still use Paint Shop Pro after 10+ years. I know how to use it, and I'd have a learning curve to deal with switching to Photoshop or anything else.

Nymph · 10-23-2007

Well, I decided to go ahead and install what I already have. Last night Paintshop pro got added, and I just finished installing Photoshop...still have all my cool nifty neat filters to add in though.

I just don't have the time, or energy to learn a new program right now...too many other things I need to do first.

Thank you all for your suggestions, and comments

Good point. Guess also that's why I never seriously looked at anything else than The Gimp. I know it after using it for a long time. I really don't have any spare time to learn properly any other graphic suites.
