Photofiltre ~ this is good to start with for siggies and banners, but this version doesn't have layers and animation,

Gimp ~image editor, this has many features like layers and animation, as well filter effects,

well with having experience with photoshop ive used PS 7, PS CS2, and CS3!.

and i think CS3 is the best by far!.

two problems: its VERYYYY expensive!. and (easy to download)but hard to get a crack for!.

but there is this program called Gimp, which is EXACTLY like photoshop, just arranged differently, i had photoshop on my old computer, but once you have it downloaded and cracked, you cant just transfer it to a diff computer so i downloaded Gimp and no complaints!!

i'd deff give it a try!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Professional photographers and graphic artists need the very best!. For what you are trying to do, you do not!. The cost of CS3 and the education needed to use it properly is far more than you need for fan sites and cool signs!. At the most, try Adobe Photoshop Elements 6!.!.!.again, more than you require, but lots less expensive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The best one is Photoshop CS3 Extended, but it costs nearly $1000!.

Do you really need the best or will the less than $90 Photoshop Elements!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

YOU HAVE TO GET PIXELMATOR !!!! IT'S THE BEST AND IT'S ONLY $59!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
