right now im just using GIMP to create simple graphics such as avatars and such.

what are you guys using to make art? (ie cameras for photography, design programs, drawing utencils etc.)

Blunted · 05-26-2007, 03:54 AM

iPhoto & Photoshop here.

I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to photoshop though, TMG knows a lot more about that than me.

ya man i feel ya. i just purchased adobe photoshop CS2 and i have to admit it is quite intimidating. i really recommend gimp for beginners.

Picassa for basic touchups and browsing images (great ap and it's free!) http://picasa.google.com/

Photoshop CS3 for image editing or making joiners or whatever I need it for

http://www.irfanview.com/ for resizing the odd image, or cropping or converting it into something else. Also opens pretty much any image/sound file really fast (even .psd)

and http://www.multipleimageresizer.net/ for when i need to convert a batch of images.

Photoshop CS2 and openCanvas 4 with a Wacom tablet.

CH3VELLE · 05-27-2007, 06:56 AM

being new to photoshop, i have just messed around with some of the features to get an idea of what it is like. its so much fun to mess around with when you're baked.

simple halo render

work in progress

getting there (i like how i used the light in this one)

At the moment, I use Corel Paint Shop Pro X for most work. It has a good compressor and one-step fixing. I have CS2 hanging around, just haven't had the time to learn the uses.

Originally I used Paint Shop Pro (I actually bought it back in the day), and it was sufficient for my needs. Then I used to use Photoshop up until version 7, because after that my computer couldn't handle it. So I just use GIMP now. It's really just as good for amateurs, and although it lacks in a lot of areas, it's free (open-source, no less!). I've also heard good things about Paint.net as well, though I haven't tried it.

I use macromedia Fireworks MX, Paint Shop pro 7 and now and again Photoshop 7. The majority of the time I use Fireworks. When making an animation like the one below I use Jasc animation shop.

I have a Panasonic FZ30 for my camera (along with other lenses, filters, flashes) and for editing I use CS2. Also use Neat Image for noise reduction on images.
