What is the best edition of photoshop that won't burn your wallet like cs3? --Nordamus

- Unless you have a need for really sophisticated production facilities, use Paint Shop Pro at I think $99. Or even the Open Source GIMP. It will do it all for 99% of users. And, I speak as someone who owns Photoshop CS3, all paid up. Pieface 17:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think that GIMP has a rather crappy interface along with most other image manipulation programs. Krita and Firworks have a little better of an interface if you want to work with them. Pixel is also rather cheap last time I heard, and it's a pretty damned good photoshop clone for the most part. ~

- MS paint all the way! Or, if you're not 1337 enough for that, you could use paint.net, which is also free. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 06:34, 02 Sep 2007
- I got a free copy of Photoshop elements with my Wacom tablet. I dunno if it's any good, as I don't want to learn anything new, so I stuck to whateveritwas that I used before. It makes a nice coaster, though. Futuristic. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Convince a student to buy the academic version for you. Problem solved. --Algorithm 06:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- PaintshopPro 4.1. You might find a CD at garage sales, computer recycling centers, or nailed to the head of a cyborg kitten. It's simple, clean, installs in a heartbeat, and doesn't give you 50,000 cumbersome tools you will never ever need. ----OEJ 02:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've installed Paint.NET, and it's pretty cool. This brings up another question, however: What plug-ins should I install? --Nordamus

- I use GIMP. I can teach you its ways, if you want. I made this with it. Then again, Mhaille and RadicalX have both done incredible things with the 'Shop. It all depends on your willingness to pirate/steal from someone. Photoshop is very complicated, and GIMP is a little hard to learn. Both are very powerful. Paint Shop Pro is also pretty powerful, but all of these good editing tools have one common thread: a rather large learning curve. Generally, more power = more to harness.

- Yeah, that's a good observation. My general feeling is that for most jobs you just need selection tools, sharpening-blurring, color/hue and lightness/darkness adjustment, and drawing tools for adding text and lines. I find that for me, most Uncyc jobs can be done with a relatively uncomplicated program -- therefore I favor the 10-year-old version of PSP. I have Teh Gimp (which I have not used much) and a recent version of PSP (which I use regularly) if I want to do complex operations, but as Ljlego writes program power is in this case paid for by a steeper learning curve for the user. I haven't tried Paint.net, I guess I will give it a go. ----OEJ 16:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

- For proper editing only photoshop is the right choice. It has the best power-nogrief ratio of all other packages. And the cheapest ? The pirated version ofcourse. Just pirate the fucker. -_Vosnul 22:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- *Disclaimer Uncyclopedia does not support the pirating of copywritten software. Uncyclopedia may support pirates, the Pirate king, the Pirate Liberation Organization, pirate ninjas, Captain Jack Sparrow, and internet pirates, but not the things they plunder. Should you happen to use any pirated software, Uncyclopedia will be forced to do absolutely nothing. Have a good day. Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 23:52, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
