View Full Version : Photoshop time!
alright i took ur advice, i got photoshop, now i have no idea how to use it. i played around with the effects, but i can still do better in gimp. im looking for some good tuts to make good quality sigs. im not talking about a grunge brush backround, a render and a c4d. but im not looking for some super advanced tut. im hoping to find something a little bit better then lawliets(no offense lawliet, its a great tut for a extreme begginer, but since i already had experience with gimp, i would like something more advanced as your tut was made for quick easy sigs)

My advice :
Stick with GIMP. Read tuts from http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/users-submitted-gimp-tips-&-tutorials-f14.html-sid=4548d70d04baf2e5e1c6877a920a0253

Have you ever thought that other people might prefer GIMP over Photoshop? Just because you love it doesn't mean everyone else does.

Agreed with Bourkyokudan, since most people don't wanna pay how ever much Photoshop costs and most people don't want to illegally download it either. How about some positive feedback from GIMP users instead of automatically not liking it because it's GIMP. 'Cause I've kinda gotten sick of seeing almost every negative comment from you involving the word GIMP.

GIMP is good but photoshop is better. Both are capable of making great stuff but Photoshop costs money for a reason. If your ever going to do graphics design for a profession photoshop is the way to go, if it's just for making sig both are fine.
I've seen Mecha's shit and it's good. Even though my stuff is better ;).

95% of graphic designers use photoshop.
It's automatically fail for the same reason it's free. It limits on what you can do.
And don't use that bullshit excuse "some can't afford it" coz that's a f*cking excuse, and all it is. I was 13 years old when I got photoshop, do you think I could afford it? No. I found my own way of getting it.
btw mecha I know it was made in gimp :P I can tell by the legs.

It's not a reason it's an excuse -.-
well you know what? believe it or not other people are actually allowed to have there opinions. at the time i think gimp is better because its simpler and easier to make something.

It's not an opinion that Gimp is "better" it's stupidity. Statistics show that photoshop IS better.
it is better if you are considering graphic design as a Profession, and if your willing to put ALOT of work into it. gimp is better if you want it done fast, easy, and simple. im not considering graphic design for a career so at this time gimp is better for me.i would rather not contenue this.

It's better all around. It's just as easy to learn how to make simple beginner shit in photoshop as it is in gimp. Like I said, trust me on this, I'm more experienced in the field than you, and your not getting anywhere by arguing with me about it.

I don't think it really matters, since the outcome lies on your creativity and not your program. It really depends on the user itself.
For me, any program is good. It's just that I prefer GIMP because it's easier to use IMO.

GIMP is excellent for users that do not wish to pay for a program, and is for more advanced features, as well as small edits. GIMP is not only pretty damn close to PS's capabilities, but it is also able to do this for free. Now take your pick and stop saying that both programs suck or 'own'. They don't, as it is the user that determines the actual outcome with his/her creativity and knowledge. The program doesn't do anything by itself.
Thank you. And by the way, my signature was rendered in GIMP too, and I have to say that it is a bit edgy when I look at it while using the black skin. This could be because you did the rendering in a hurry, though. If you find the original pic again, please, please PM me, Mecha. x3

1) Designers are willing to pay for Photoshop. That's why it's used more by designers. Most 15 year old kids that want to make stuff like sigs wouldn't pay for Photoshop since they have a much easier option rathen than paying like, $500+.
2)"Reign Supreme" is probably one of the most biased things I've heard recently.
3)And as agreed with PKAvenger. You contradicted yourself there. The users (designers in this case) agree that Photoshop is #1 for them, because they're willing to pay.
The thing that you clearly don't get is that NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO PAY FOR PHOTOSHOP WHEN THEY CAN GO FOR GIMP. Apparently you do want Photoshop (Which you said you got for free, which I'm almost sure is illegal), but me, and a bunch of people on here don't.

If you actually read the post I made a few posts up, I completely explained everything that I could see from your comments.

Photoshop is a more advanced design tool, used for professional work and offers a hella' lot more of variety in signature making. GIMP is a hyped up version of Paint.

Agreed.
But, that doesn't necessarily make GIMP bad. It has pretty much the same features of PhotoShop but, GIMP is still not as good.
