    Alternatives to Photoshop?

    I have been using it for a while but I just dont seem to be getting on with it......

    I prefer "Fireworks", but it just dosnt have the grunt I need...... In particular it is really bad with text

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

          Illustrator, depending how much vector stuff you're doing. Paintshop pro is pretty good for raster/pixel stuff .. if a bit clunky.

            I think one of the best alternatives to Photoshop is Paint Shop Pro from Jasc. Go to there website and check them out. They got a free demo of PSP.

                There really is no substitute for Photoshop. Once you get past the learning curve, nothing even comes close to the capabilities you can achieve with it. Learn it - it's worth it! My

                  "the grunt"?

                  dude.... Fireworks kicks ass. Maybe you are not using it correctly?

                      There is.. i tried it once. Didn't like it. But i didn't give myself a whole lot of time to try it out.

                            Fireworks and Photoshop are the best.
                            Maybe try Paint Shop Pro?
                            No sig, just here to fuck around.

                              for raster shit, FireworksMX has the best text tool of any prog.

                              I bring all my text in from FWMX.

                              But if all you want is an alternative to PS.. go with PSP.
                              Get a copy of v7 though... v8 is utter trash.

                                  photoshop is powerful, but if you don't need all the power, paintshop pro
                                  Does anyone look down here?

                                    Yep, just came out. I need something simple that has better vector editing than Photoshop so I'm trying it out. So far so good ;)
