The ONLY program that competes with Photoshop..

[dsfreak]

Well, I will let some people guess. What is the ONLY program that stands a chance agaisnt Photoshop?


I don't care if it is a free, or a cheap one, or MsPaint... As long as it can do graphics work. I have tried so many of them, and finally found the one. I want five people to guess, then I will tell you what it is. It is currently in BETA, and I am not sure if it will cost money in the future.... Come on now, guess!

Is it Microsoft Acrylic?

If it is.. i can remove it so other people can guess x]

I know this is going to be wrong but I'm still gonna say Fireworks mainlt becasue Fireworks is so kick ass. I mean use a varient png to store information like a psd is genius because yo can redistrpute the png and other firerokes users will be able to use it. Tottaly owns psd's

I'm gonna say the GIMP, which is what I use (actually I made your sig with that, dsfreak) and I think it is great.

EDIT: Nevermind, it can't be the one you are thinking of, its not in beta.

 

[dsfreak]

Dang it! Aroonxors got it! Thats what it is! I just found it last night, and it is really good. It does everything Photoshop can do, and right now it is FREE (BETA), but I don't know about the future.


Well, here is a link:

try the 30 day tryout

its good

 

[dsfreak]

Uhm, its $300. And besides, Adobe owns that now.

 

[Sheepoholics]

Adobe owns everything nowadays but fireworks is still awsome. I bought it with the entire macromedia mx 2004 package.

Is it normal to be in love with a program?

The Road Not Taken

T[size=-1]WO[/size] roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And
having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
~Robert Frost

Those arn't great I was just screwing about with different brushes and stuff of the type. The second picture was for an English class where we had to make a picture based on a poem.

 

[Aroonxors]

Its not totaly finished and can compete with adobe, Just yet. But its probably the best free BETA program that can compete with photoshop.

DSFREAK and Axxoranx( sry for wrong spellings) Thanks dudes IT IS AWESOME!!! and sheephjolics stop triple postin!

 

[Colin]

I'm trying out this program and so far it's amazing for a free program...

 

[dsfreak]

Yea, no problem. Just love to share the wealth (or, uhm, free stuff).

 

[humphrey]

is there a version of microsoft acrylic that doesn't need xp? or any other with low memory usage and is free?

 

[dsfreak]

I doubt it. It was made for Microsoft Vista, so it will need AT LEAST Xp.

Is it normal to be in love with a program?
