Eets Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Alright S1DC, Jackal... Here's your chance. I'm hoping to get Adobe Photoshop for x-mas, and I want some tips on how to use it in advance. So ya got any?
Clefo Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Ooh I do: PHOTOSHOP IS EVIL! USE PAINT SHOP PRO INSTEAD!!!
Eets Posted December 12, 2001 Author Posted December 12, 2001 I hear ya, clefo. I've aaaallllllllways used PSP, since version 3!
Zygomaticus Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 then why do u wanna get photoshop is it better than psp
Wraith 8 Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Well i use Photoshop very often... because i have to use it for my school.. i own photoshop 5.5 but i believ there is already version 6. so... I do know how to work with it (a little) but animation.... dont know how.
Tie Guy Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Well, i have used both Photoshop 6.0 and the demo of PSP7 (getting the full version for x-mas) and i would say that PSP is WAY better and much easier.
TheJackal Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 If you are used to most other pain programs then you wont be lost with Adobe Photoshop. I threw myself into that program without using any Help me or any thick book and not even in a classe (just because i wanted to try it). The amount of mini-windows might scare you but you'll be used at it. The 3 out of 5 that you will probebly use the most frequently will be the layers, history and normal tool pallet. You can remove them but they are usefull. Just experiment around with it, thats how I learned most about it.
TheJackal Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Oh an an other note: Adobe Photoshop is used my most profesionnals and compagnies such as LEC and Raven. Why? Frequently updated and you can achieve a lot with it. Sure, PSP is nice but limited.
Eets Posted December 12, 2001 Author Posted December 12, 2001 Well, I've never done anything on the computer with a help book or manual. I've learned everything I know by teaching myself. I just recently got interested in going to college classes.
Guest Kudar Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Your one lucky fella if your getting that for Christmas, it costs a bomb Cool!
Guest DaRk_EwoK Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 Photoshop is a great program, you wont know it until you try... I made my avatar with Photoshop!!!! <----
darthfergie Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 I have Adobe...you get it free with Windows Me...Personally I like PSP7 better (like Tie Guy it is coming X-mas) BTW, Dark_Ewok you also aparently used animation shop...which is an added feature to getting PSP7 Anniversary Edition Your one lucky fella if your getting that for Christmas, it costs a bomb The Anniversary Edition only costs $70 and it comes with PSP7, Animation Shop and, Media Center...
Guest DaRk_EwoK Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 I didnt use animation shop... I dont even have it I also used image ready (its included with photoshop) Photoshop (with image ready) is GREAT when you learn how to use it, I bet it can do everything animation shop does, and some more
darthfergie Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 What??? How??? Anniversary Edition comes with ANimation SHop... But how did you get PSP7 to do animations???
Guest DaRk_EwoK Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 I also used image ready (see above) Photoshop made the images... IR just edited the animation and made them animated gifs Photoshop and IR work togheter. BTW i edited my last post a few seconds after posting... maybe thats why you didnt see it
darthfergie Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 What version of Photoshop do you have???
darthfergie Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 OH!!! That explains it...I think they got rid of the title Image Ready and the engine it uses because Paint Shop Pro 7 has Animation Shop 1 and Media Center 1
Clefo Posted December 12, 2001 Posted December 12, 2001 I have PSP 6.. I think its good enough to handle all my graphical needs...
Eets Posted December 13, 2001 Author Posted December 13, 2001 Mesa gots PSP & AS 7. (they both change at the same time.) Off topic: I have no clue what your avatar is, clefo, but I like it!
Clefo Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 My new one? thank you On topic: I know I don't like Photoshop, but I forgot why I did.. Haven't used it in forever
Eets Posted December 13, 2001 Author Posted December 13, 2001 The first time I used it it was way over my head, that's why I didn't like it. I'm gonna give it another try though.
darthfergie Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 Yeah first time I used it I had no idea what I was doing...but I kept at it and I've gotten it pretty well figured out now...
Silenthunter Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 I'm with Fergie there...But hey, now I'm starting to figure it out, and I think it's pretty sweet. I mean,at least I can make good lightsaber effects. But hey, screw PSP and APS, who thinks Paint is the best program ever invented? ;)
Eets Posted December 13, 2001 Author Posted December 13, 2001 You'll all be happy to know that I got Adobe Photoshop, and it's AWESOME!
