I started using Adobe Photoshop Elements (the Home version of Photoshop) until I got used to the application.

The brief time I had a graphics tablet was wonderful for drawing but not suitable for playing WoW. You *can* play WoW on a graphics tablet quite well, but the lack of an simple way to right-click and the odd camera controls put a stop to that.

Once I decided I was committed to Photoshop, I upgraded to CS3. Yes, I know the cost is enormous, but if you buy from official resellers or Adobe direct, you can take advantage of Upgrade offers. I was even able to transfer my copy from WinXp to Mac free of charge when I swapped my PC for an iMac.

The big thing to get used to a new application was training – a few months subscription at Linda.com was worth its weight in Titansteel!

To be honest, they’re probably all as hard to understand at first.

I think they just have more powerful software. That’s it.

Although, it IS pretty powerful software…

It just costs so much!

I haaaaated GIMP when I first started using it. It was confusing and I just didn’t get it.

But the thing is, when you use Linux, it’s basically one of your only options =P

So I forced myself to use it, because I didn’t really have a choice. And now I <3 it to bits.

Though in all honesty, I have never used Photoshop or any o’ those really big image editors, so I dunno how they’d compare =P

Nice pets there Pike.
I’ve tried using GIMP a few times but never ever, ever felt comfortable with it.

That’s just too awesome.

Now all you need is an owl in a hat for your archives and some sort of… thing for your RSS feed.
And maybe a Gorilla angrily smashing a keyboard for the comments section.
Or… or…

*brain explodes*

It’s the mental image of a cutesy Archimonde that did it.

GIMP is the bestest. At first, it intimidated the snot out of me. Then… I got used to it. And now? Nothing else really compares.

Why is it that the free stuff is always better than the stuff you pay for? XD
