What is the best graphic software that you use?

I think photoshop is the best software for graphics.

 

I would have to disagree with that
I WOULD agree with the fact that photoshop is probably the best raster/bitmap graphic software
but it doesn't handle vector
and a vector-less graphic world would be quite sad indeed


vanessa.

 

Adobe Photoshop, duh!

 

Horses for courses - I use several different graphics programs for different tasks.

I use 5 or 6 different programs to deveop RAW images from a DSLR camera, I use the GIMP to finish off some photo's, I use several specialist photo software packages for different graphics tasks, Fireworks for simple web graphics and for tasks like saving out screenshots good ole Paint works just fine.

If you feel the need to buy the latest computer then pay a small fortune to get photochop then by all means do it - it just isn't the most suitable program for ALL graphics jobs.

Then again, maybe your original question was just too broad - you forgot to mention the context of the use.

 

PHOTOSHOP works the BEST for me! nothing else than dat

 

photoshop and illustrator easily the best.

 

ha-ha, love the ref.

I always tell people Gimp as an alt. to PS...of course it might help if i try the program someday!!!

 

Photoshop with the help of Image ready ROCKS

 

That is rotten. You have never used the GIMP and will blindly recommend a $300+ piece of software over a totally free one that is probably 6 months behind Adobe's product.

I use open source for everything web related and strongly recommend the GIMP (raster) & Inkscape (vector)

I only switch to Illustrator / Photoshop if my work is going press. There is very little open source stuff can do to get around the Pantone patent issues (without some serious hacks) and I don't thing GIMP can handle CMYK images. My version is about a year old so hopefully someone can correct me on this by now.

Viva la Open Source

 

Haha.actually I'm using free trial of adobe photoshop.doanload it every month.Is GIMP as good as photoshop.This is my first time heard about GIMP.Should I switch to GIMP?aaa

 

One of the beautiful things about GIMP is that you can try it yourself and see if it meets your requirements.

Download a Windows installer for GIMP here: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

 

Thanks Will.Spencer.I'll try it myself.Hehe.

 

Hello

If you are working as a team then i think you can go for shuffling and switching for many applications. But if you are an individual then i suppose try looking forward of becoming an expert. Play around and fiddle with all the controls, learn basic tutorials, practice all the examples given and then start giving yourselves assignments.

Me and my team has been using photo shop and fireworks. We prefer adobe over others as they have established themselves as authority in the graphic design applications. New versions come with new enhancements which need to be learned and practiced.

Again: Adobe Photo Shop!

Thank you

 

you can re-DL and reuse the trial

most programs are savvy enough, no matter how much you try to remove traces of the program, somehow it knows you've already used the trial!

 

Photoshop is def. the best. Illustrator is possibly more powerfull but a bit more tricky to use.

Photoshop for Websites and Illustrator any day for Pure creativity.

 

hmm..Maybe you are right.I'll definitely need to buy it(photoshop) someday..By the way,I had seen some example of GIMP software.Quite good.Not far different from photoshop.Maybe I'll consider to switch to GIMP.

 

Hi,

I think Photoshop is still the best. But if your budget is limited, you can use Gimp. It's similar to Photoshop in many ways.

 

Illustrator.......No Alternatives.......

 

My favorite best graphic software is Adobe photoshop 7.0 i use this software all time.

 

Photoshop for photo editing, creating web graphics, etc.
Illustrator for logos, business cards, other stationery stuff.
