Photoshop users ?

[V0RT3X]

I don't know If i have really mentioned it before, but I have been using Adobe photoshop at a novice level for a while now. I am no Art student but i do enjoy using it for designing crazy graphics of my own. It's always a nice foray away from music design when I get tired of messing about with sounds. Sometimes it can inspire me to make music after I do some cool graphics.

If you work with photoshop please post your graphic designs! I'll share a few of mine.

I find Photoshop a bit pricey, particularly when you compare it to Paint.Net which is FREE and very capable. Like yourself, I'm only a dabbler but it's nice to experiment with something which won't disturb the neighbours :biggrin:. Here's something I came up with for the rear cover of my current EP, which, being download-only, doesn't actually need a rear cover...

I think a lot of people did...

I was a hardcore PaintShopPro user until I realised how bad it was for vector graphic stuff, now seem to bounce between that, Serif DrawPlus for vector-ey stuff, paint.net and PS CS2 (cough). Tried to like GIMP but too crude in places (dialogues etc), same with Inkscape.

I struggle with GIMP - the interface seems so complicated. I quite like Inkscape for vector stuff but unless I move into web design (which ain't gonna happen) I probably won't need it. Has anyone here tried Blender (http://www.blender.org/) for 3D stuff? Now that is mindblowing....

Pixelmator is a full featured image editor for Macs. Only $15 and works very well for the limited design stuff I do.

I am a slave to the Adobe Suite, and I am basically on Photoshop and Illustrator 8+ hours a day at work. What's funny is that the images I make for my SC uploads are often incredibly garish, basically because I get to do all the things I can't do for projects at work! It is actually quite relieving to do a quick, dirty, bold design, as an antidote to releasing pixel-perfect iOS graphic assets during the day.

hey hey, garish is my style, don't be stealin' my style!

Uh Oh... Sounds like we are going to need to have a garish-off! Break out the Comic Sans and MS Paint!

Heh, all this 'paint' talk reminded me of this:

A lovely little film (only 8mins), well worth your time, not garish at all.

You're right - what a charming little film

For anyone that may be interested, I'm selling my Wacom Intuos3 6x11 graphics tablet in the KVR Marketplace.

In the interest of this thread, I use Photoshop CC (I have the Creative Cloud) and Painter 11 (Waiting for a subscription service to upgrade to X3).
