Between Photoshop and Painter you can create just about anything.

A free alternative is GIMP, which is very close to the same functionality of Photoshop. [addsig]

Paint Shop Pro came with XP? Did you get a bundle or something? I personally use a combination of both programs, they each have their ups and downs. [addsig]

The Gimp > Paint Shop Pro, imho.

And uh ? Paint Shop Pro's not in the official bundle with Windows XP. The only image editing program that comes with it is MsPaint

yeah i got paint shop pro and norton antivrus and like all kinds of stuff.

i got a dell....haha.

and a pentium 4 dell with hyperthreading and like my maps take like 10 mins to compile.

haha...bout time i got a good comp. im just playing but when i started mapping it was like on a regular old pentium. sloooooowwwww.

well with offical bundle xp im sure paint shop pro didnt come with it. must be the dell thing. i think they should through it in free. damn thing is costing me and arm and a leg. haha. and i dont know how ill use my comp if it does.

ok...i quess ill fork out the money for paint shop pro. that and get gimp. i played with that like years and years ago.

thank you.

hyper threading is a cheap way to avoid multipul cpus. A computer with it, has very, very, little advantage over a computer without it.

Except that the compile tools actually support hyperthreading... I bet it gives you some benefits there

I use PSP for lots of stuff, but I have found that it is quite buggy. Lots of random crashes and such...

i can do most things that i want with psp7. the things that i can't do is from lack of knowing how to, rather than the prog sucking. which i'm sure it does compared to photoshop, or photoshop is just way overpriced. either way, i get by just fine with psp. i had a trial version of photoshop, but it seemed like far too much to learn for my needs.

paint shop pro 8 is 84 bucks compared to like ten million for photshop.

i clicked on thier site and went back off like 2 secs later....6 hundred some dollars. wow.

i have a trail of 7 and it works great.

yeah decent sized map i been working on and using bat files to compile and running it in sparse mode works very nicely.

but im getting 8.....gonna be a good texture artist too.....
