paint shop pro

hey seems paint shop pro that came with windows xp is good. im going to learn to do more texture work and the trial will end.

70 some bucks though? is it worth it?

do any of you have a better suggestion?

i hear photoshop alot.

thank you

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.

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.

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 :razz:

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.

pentium 4 dell with hyperthreading

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...

you must have a crapy copy, cause mine has never borked

look in my briefcase TB..

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..... :smile:
