Hidy hey, i'm pretty fluent in using macromedia fireworks. but i'm almost too aware that adobe photoshop would be a better program.

just wondering what everyone else uses.

i tried out photoshop once but it was so fustrating looking for fireworks functions. i felt like an ameteur lol. are the benefits worth the effort, or are they simmilar programs?

i use fireworks and so do the best 2 people i know at graphic design, lee jeffery and shrbr

Adobe Photoshop 7.0, I have Fireworks, I prefer it for cartoon type work, as the outcomes of it are more cartoon style than anything.

Adobe Photoshop CS2, haven't tried others but it floats my boat.

Photoshop CS2 here aswell. i cant get used to fireworks and all the tutorials i find are crap

they really are there is hardley any i just have to mess around myself

the old ones were just so tedious. fireworks was pretty easy to learn, as soon as u figure out the general layout, and what does what, everything just suddenly falls into place and fluency prevails.

doesn't photoshop have WAY more filters etc?

Photoshop CS2.... i really like its user interface im just so used to it now... also have paint shop pro 10, gimp and fireworks

back in the old days i used to use microsoft word to create gradients, and peice graphics together using mspaint. that really forces you to learn allot. and microsoft photo editor for added effects and colour filtering. I figured out some lush techniques, made me feel quite proud to get such nice images without an actual graphics program.
