GIMP is good 'nuff for most people's needs, and its free. Photoshop and Photoshop Elements may be better, but theyre so loving expensive.
PDN=Paint.NetPS=Photoshop
The forget about GIMP?You're all idiots..Well, not really, but GIMP is better than PS and PDN.GIMP: Can do whatever PS can do. GIMP can save in over 60 different image types, and can make animated .gifs. GIMP can also do anything PDN can. Did I mention GIMP is free?Photoshop: Expensive as hell, works fine, however, the price deducts from the usefulness. Can't save in all of the file types GIMP can.PDN: Can't do much compared to PS and GIMP. It's free, but that's not that big of a deal considering the complexity of the program :\ -Can't make .gifs-Can only save as a few file types-Can handle transparency
I'm better than you!
