Are you looking for an affordable alternative to
PhotoShop? I downloaded Paint Shop Pro 4.14 by
Jasc, Inc. from
TUCOWS.
(In fact, I interviewed for a Tech Support position at their facilities before I had ever started developing any of YouthPastor.Com.)
I immediately feel in love with this program. I was able to:
- automatically convert lots of graphics from one format to another,
- make transparent GIF images,
- Opens & Saves Progressive JPEG & PNG with transparency (PSP was the first paint program I found that used the PNG format),
- and use Photoshop Compatible Plug-ins like Eye Candy 3.0 and Kai's Power Tools 3.0.
There are many websites that offer free information on how to do some of the coolest effects without having to purchase additional software. Filters are also available online, for example,
NVR's BorderMania 2.0 (FREE) allows you to make rectangular and circular beveled buttons.
Give this program a test drive for free... It's shareware and well worth the download to evaluate. Be sure to check out the Help File for short cuts and the many online tutorial links available at Jasc's Design Studio. Paint Shop Pro 3.11 is also available for Windows 3.01.
James has been designing graphics since 1984 when PCs only had a maximum of 16 colors. He uses Paint Shop Pro to design all the graphics at YouthPastor.Com.
