Adobe Photoshop 5.0

[kawser]

For Photoshop, it's just the best graphics editing program period. It's features, tools, filters, etc etc is just what makes it so powerful compared to any other graphic editing program there is. It's capabilities surpass Paintshop Pro, Paint.net, GIMP, etc.

I'd say the best free graphic editing program would be the GIMP, check it out. You don't need a book for tutorials, there's the internet for that.

I also have Corel Painter X, it's obviously more for digital drawing/painting, but photoshop can do that too.

I don't think I'll ever consider BUYING photoshop...unless I own a business or something and I need it for legitimacy or something lol.

Seriously, just download it, theres so many people that pirated PS lol.
