I honestly pick photoshop, why you say? its just so professional and paint shop seems like a kiddy version of it. it has better effects but is quite slow (only downfall)
I used to use Paint Shop Pro, but I was annoyed at the poor results it created (especially with transparency). Also PSP wasn't a "professional" tool - to quote a friend of mine who is a graphics artist (it's his job - he studied for it).
So it took him quite some time to presuade me to change programs, and I opened Photoshop 7 - stunned by its speed on a PII 333MHz, where PSP9 took 10 minutes to kick off. Then of course came the dreadful task of learning where everything was, how things were done. About a week later, I banned PSP from my computer and haven't looked back. However for the occasional graphic designer - just hobbyists - PSP suffices. But if you're serious about it and want state-of-the-art, then Photoshop is the way to go.
I found it to be more intuitive than PSP, faster and better results all in all.
I don't feel you can make a correct comparison, since PSP is just not even coming close to touching the tail end of PS.
Photoshop has a lot more features than Paintshop, and it's more professional. Paintshop is just like MS Paint after being modified by a group of people and distributed as a shareware. That's what I think it looks like. There are other free softwares that are better than Paintshop.
Photoshop is now the industrical standard. So, all advance designer use it. PaintShop is pretty easy to learn, so it's for the beginners. PaintShop isn't powerful, if you don't have enough to buy PhotoShop but still want something better than paintshop, you may want to try Gimp, an open source image editing software. It's very popular, right?
I'm using Photoshop 5 for digital artwork. It gives me unlimited control of every detail, and is functional even in it's simpler tasks. Of course, having a graphics tablet helps immensley. I recommend the Wacom tablet. I found it for about $100
id take photoshop over paintshop anyday...photoshop creates higher quality images and is much faster on slower machines than paintshop. photoshop also offers a whole variety of options to the user that paintshop doesnt touch on...photoshop is also very easy to learn whether you are comming from another program or just starting off with no abilities. photoshop is a great program and should be in everyones arsenal or programs...
i have photoshop 7 on my old laptop whcich is a pIIMMX 366mhz with 162mb ram and it runs without any difficulty what so ever...
i have photoshop cs2 on my desktop which is a P4 2.8ghz with 512mb ram and it also runs without any difficulty...
I choose photoshop. Paintshop is maybe more easy to use but is more limited in features than photoshop. Photoshop is a professional tools used by everyone. In the begining you have to learn a lot of things.
Well, I started out with PSP. And as people have been saying it is great for beginners. I found it easy to use. The only problem was that it didn't offer me enough features and effects. I had heard about PS and about how good it was, so I decided to switch to that.
I haven't gone back.
As soon as I started using PS, I found myself thinking, 'How could I have ever used PSP?'. Now, I am not a professional graphic/web designer or anything, but I have found that PS is the best graphics program out there. It offers so much more than what the others offer. I have to admit, it does take time to learn how all of the things work. I have had it for a few years now and I still don't know how some things work. But once, I got used to it I found it very easy to use.
So, Photoshop all the way for me!
Absolutely the same thing! Really absolutely! photoshop is the best one, anyway for me!
This is a tutorial to create a plasma background effect. We are trying to get with a few filters.
Step 1) Press 'D' to reset your colours, choose linear gradient, uncheck all bozes, black
to white, and go crazy. Step 2)Do a wave filter (filter>distort>wave) and hit randomize a few
times. Step 3)Press ctrl+j(duplicate layer) and repeat step 2 on the duplicated layer. Set layer
belnding mode to lighten. Step 4)Repeat steps 2-3 once. Step 5)Press ctrl+u, check colorize, and
change colour! Congratulations, now you're done!...
I usually make my own brushes when it comes down to original work I sell (Because you cannot sell
work in which you've used premade brushes, unless they're not copyrighted.) But the
absolute best site to find brushes it without a doubt, http://www.deviantart.com/ Most regards,

Photoshop CS2
- Opinions? Is it worth the upgrade? (13)
I know I'm a bit slow about this, apparently it was released on April 5th, but does anyone have
any opinions on just specifically Photoshop CS2? I currently own Photoshop CS (bought it at
educational pricing), and to buy CS2 as an upgrade will still be around S$299, which is quite a bit
for me... Looking at all the new features didn't get me all excited, except maybe the
WYSIWYG font preview (which is super overdue, I think), and the new and improved file browser called
Bridge, and MAYBE the whole Vanishing Point thing (which I don't forsee myself using...

Anyone here use Paint Shop Pro? I would like to know that which one is better for designing a Web

you're a non-native english speaker, we're going to be lenient about this. But make sure you

Okay, I want to get an antique look for a graphic, and though I knew that Paint Shop Pro has a nice
simple button to do that, I haven't figured out a way to get it done the right way in Photoshop.
I mean, I tried a desaturate then hue/saturation with hue 38, sauration 20 and lightness 14, and it
came out looking like this: It's nice and all, but not exactly what I was looking
for...any help would be appreciated....
When I first got PS7, I was blown away by the powerful functionality. But I soon realized that they
completely ruined the TGA format. I could no longer use the alpha channel the way I could in all
other versions. So after a little bit of digging, I found these fixes on adobe's website:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1544 Mac:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1543 This will make TGA's "work"
again. I think installing PS7's SP1 update will also fix the problem. Over the past couple
years since ...
