RE: FLASH: Should i get Photoshop?

[Eric Dunham]

For most graphic imaging, I would recommend Jasc's Paint Shop Pro 6.01.

It's kinda like Photoshop and Illustrator in one package:

-It can do raster and vector image manipulation.

-It supports every format under the sun (including PSDs)

-It has a slew of native plugins and filters, as well as support for every

plugin that's ever been made for Adobe (and any with a .8b* extension)

-It supports a HUGE color swatch (16 million I think, as opposed to

Photoshop's 256)

-It has very flexible tool controls (everything from solid, pattern, and

gradient fills to auto-feathering and anti-aliasing of vectors on creation)

-With a price tag of US $99, it can't be beat.

The only bad thing about it is that I think it's only available for the

Windows platform (but don't quote me on that)

And no, I'm not a Jasc rep, or associated with them in any way, I just think

that their product is the biggest graphical bang for the buck out there.

My $0.02,

Eric Dunham
