Second Question

Post by FirebenderDude2 »

I know this is my second question, but I'm curious: Do you guys make the torsos on Photoshop or Paint, or something else?

Tip; if you state in your first post that there is an "other" option, put in it the poll.

I chose "other", as I use Paint.net myself.

Look it up, it's free, and it's awesome. 8)

"Thanks, but... what's gimp?"

The Gimp it pretty much a free version of Photoshop. I use it more for editing photos rather than decals, but there are some benefits to having both The Gimp, and Paint.Net. (One being that The Gimp supports .psd files, while Paint.net does not.)

"I use paint because its free"

You should check seriously look up Paint.NET, Danielas. It's free to Download, and works very well.

I use Word to resize them. I just enter the height and width and it does the rest.

I use Photoshop. Mainly because I had a friend who took a graphics design course, and when she was done, she lent me all the text books and programs for it. :)

I don't usually do any customs, but when I do, I use my newly bought Paint Shop Pro XI. Always handy in a tight spot that is. :D

I use Photoshop. I've recently learned some new things with it and it was the first one I used. I can't draw to save my life, so I rely of editing existing designs.
