Which do u like better

photoshop or paint shop pro.


they both kind of do have the same tools but i just like PS better for sum reason

[Uncle Teabag]

I perfer PS over PSP.I just like the layout much better and I also find it easier to use.

[PrettyMe]

For me, I pick PSP. It's really easly to use and a lot to use. Beside, I don't have the money to buy PS.

lol, photoshop by far. It's not really a fair comparison, a proffesional level application (photoshop) compared to a product that's made more for the average comsumer.

Professionals will probably use PS over PSP. It's the industry standard tools but it come at a cost. Average consumer don't really need a tool as powerful as PS. A good shareware is sometimes more than enough.

hope this message is it too late.. well, i'll go for photoshop because i'm used to it and especially it has feature that i really enjoy using it.

[demongaara]

well if your pressed for money get psp but i prefer photoshop, its just a bit more advanced than psp.

[tariqrf]

i really dont understand.. the reason you are comparing both the software is because you actually dont know the possibilties or the power or the extent of graphics you can create with photoshop, to me you can even compare them.

anyway, if you are an average pc goer with needs like red eye reduction and stuff,, go for PSP, but if yer like me and do a lot of image editing, processing and creating, then there IS NO alternative to photoshop, i can live without it anymore. i am sort of addicted, because i do so much of image editing every day, its become more of a part of life,

If money is the matter, then forget photshop, anyway, it takes almost a year or a good year and a half of fooling around with to get used to the photshop's advanced but simple and slick working environment....

just my .02$

I'd definitely prefer Adobe Photoshop over JASC Paint Shop Pro hands down. Here are my reasons why:

1) Adobe Photoshop is the original product!!
Adobe Photoshop was created by the people at animation company Pixar (I found this out while researching Maya for a Computer Animation project thing). PS was first used as their in-house image editing software (most computer animation companies make their own software and keep it secret), then they decided to market it - and thank god they did! JASC merely copied the entire Adobe Photoshop interface and moved buttons and options around, adding a couple of not-that-useful features like ghastly-looking picture frames.

2) Adobe Photoshop is the Industry-Standard
If you want to make graphics professionally anywhere in the world, you NEED to at least know how to use Adobe Photoshop.

3) Adobe Photoshop is comprehensive (easy to use)
Having used both PS and PSP, I'd have to say that Photoshop is much easier to use. If you're just switching over from PSP you probably won't think so, but give it a few weeks - you soon realise there's just soo much more you can do with PS than with PSP. Functions and options are logically located and easy to find in PS - there's even a comprehensive tutorial/guide that comes with the program.

So go Adobe. Don't Compromise!

This should be in the Photoshop forum.

Photoshop is better, hands down. It's loaded with features that make it literally infinite in what it does. PSP has its limits, believe me.
