I used Fireworks in..2003 I think, I didnt like it very much, it was good for what it did then but I dont like it compared to photoshop, the only macromedia programs (well adobe now) I use for drawing are Flash and Freehand for vector images

id have to say Photoshop

I think fireworks have limited capabilities .Photoshop have more tools and the tools are more precise and detailed. You should try using photoshop. Its great!

I would have to say Photoshop, I find it very powerful but the price is a tad off putting and it is quite hard to learn about all the different tools etc. but when you do the results are great.

I used Paint Shop Pro once for the free trial.
I thought it was a good program considering the price. I would definitely use it if I didnt get photoshop for free, as I would never pay that much for a graphics program.

PSP does everything photoshop does at a fraction of the cost.

I have been using photoshop for 4 years now, tried paint shop pro too, but I have to confess that in my case photoshop wins hands down. I am a designer and need a good software to manipulate the graphics. In this photoshop is indeed great

Most people think that Photoshop is superior to any other product. I'm not really into design, but I prefer Photoshop because ...

1. Easier to find tutorials
2. Easier to find help; there are so many Photoshop users

I have found PLENTY of help for PSP on yahoo groups lists along with tutorials there. The tutorials may not be as plentiful but they are there. The help is phenomenal among PSP'ers. Finding it out on the web isn't as easy, you're right. But finding it among the groups list is such as yahoo and msn is. And all I wanted were tubes when I found the help I needed. Liz

I was looking tonight to see if there was another tubing group I could join on yahoo...I counted. 3348 groups for PSP between tubers and tutorials. Adobe had 598 and Macromedia had 31. MSN was a little harder to figure out: 1,823 for PSP, 358 for Photoshop. So while Photoshop may outnumber PSP on the web in straight tutorials. In groups, PSP FAR outnumbers photoshop in helping each other. Liz

I love using photoshop it is a much better program in my opinion.
