Graphic Software

[Aaron]

What graphic software do you use?

 

[Jay1]

None here, I pay to have my stuff done when I need it.

 

[Empire]

I end up paying or getting others to do it from a professional pointof view, I do have Photoshop software anyway o

 

[Jason]

GIMP (free) and Paint shop are two I've messed with, but i haven't used them on websites. Anyway, I've wanted to try Photoshop but too expensive.

Note: I have used Poser for graphics but it's a software more for making rendered images of 3D stuff.

I do use corel and photoshop, when it comes core graphics I prefer Coreldraw, I can perform wonders with that compare to photoshop. Photoshop comes in when I have to deal with interior photo/image editing.

 

[Ken]

I use both GIMP and Paint.net to make and update my images.

 

[Megan]

Paint Shop Pro mostly. But also use Photoshop Elements for drawing.

In the past, I used to use Photoshop on a free trial, that was before I found out about GIMP. Once I heard about GIMP and started using that, I never looked back.

Canva is another I use for my graphics and I love how easy it is to use and how well it works to create graphics from scratch.

 

[Maria]

I do not have skills with graphic design software, I can use Photoshop but I can do only basic things, I cannot create elaborate designs. I use Canva, I find it easy to use through is drag and drop feature.

Right now, I use both Canva, GIMP and Paint Shop Pro. Although, I still have access to Photoshop, but I haven't used it in a while.

I used to use Adobe Photoshop CS5 on an old Macbook i had but once that died and Adobe went subscription based, I switched over to Gimp for Windows.

i've been using GIMP for years now and don't see a reason to change.

Affinity... but they do have a bug in their current 2.5.3 version when dealing with some Windows installs. Don't know when they are going to get that fixed.
They currently have a a sale on the package software where you can get the Mac and Windows version of all their packages for around $90. The nice thing is, it's not web based solution.

 

[Mandy]

I am not the greatest when it comes to graphic design but I have in the past used Canva to make some simple images when I have needed them for advertising my blogs or even feature images that I have needed.

I was surprised at how well Canva works and how much there is available.

 

[Sinistra]

I use Photoshop CC for my graphics I only get photoshop because I don't want to spend $60 on apps I won't use. In a pinch, I have CS6 installed on a laptop that I carry with me, just in case a financial situation prevents me from renewing my CC subscription.

GIMP is still delivering for most graphics designer who are working with it. There's always a say that if it doesn't beak or fail, there's no need in having to change it.

Yeah I agree. I have had no issues using Gimp over something else like Photoshop. I get the same results in the end, except I don't gotta pay a dumb subscription fee to use Gimp vs Photoshop nowadays.

Yep, correct! I would only say that some graphics designers like to feel fancy when they are using Photoshop for their designing jobs because if it's about getting results, GIMP gets you that too.

 

[Tracy]

The more I play with Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, the more I'm liking them. I'd have to say well worth the $90 I invested in them.
Working in Designer to do stuff is a lot easier than doing it in Photo. Then once you get your design layout right, select to edit it in photo and finish it out.

Just a simple quick change while playing. Nothing major, but it is funny how much difference fonts can make.

 

[Ravenfreak]

I use GIMP to make my graphics for my website as well as thumbnails for my Youtube channel.

GIMP will keep being one of the best graphics design software out there until they change something which will break it. Apart from that happening, it's always effective for any work you can think of.
