Photoshop.
I would like to learn more about Fireworks though.
Posted by: Larry
I use Fireworks!!! It Rocks, but I do understand if people like Photoshop.
IMO, Fireworks was/is more 'intuitive' for me to learn than photoshop.... I must say that I have tried a few times, but I don't get photoshop :)
Although, they are very similar in their end results, I do guess photoshop can do more.
Bottom line, I think Fireworks if more for the web and Photoshop is more for print...
If you know what I mean.

I use PS for web & Graphic Design. Never thought of going with fireworks. Does it interact with Dreamweaver better in any way?
what is the benefits of going with fireworks?
Posted by: þÄ®âÐÖx
I've been using Photoshop since 5.0, and I've never really thought about using anything else. PS gets the job done and I'm used to the interface, so I don't see any need to switch to anything else.

i've been learning photoshop since version 5 also. and btw Larry most graphic design proffesionals use photoshop to create website graphic designs, this is what i have gathered from many forums i used to frequent. although flash isnt really a graphics program they usually go together well.

true, but Macromedia products (MX Studio) is designed "specifically" for web design - internet applications.
I would say Photoshop was originally designed for print designers -first, then as the Internet came along... people started using it for web stuff too.
I'm biased towards Fireworks, as thats what I began using few years back. I've wanted to learn and get used to photoshop.. BUT find it hard.
anyway, they both work great....

PS is an awesome tool, but SO bloody expensive!
Posted by: mac_mogul
I've never looked at PS by itself. I got it in an 'adobe design collection' It came with ImageReady,Illustrator, Acrobat, Photoshop, and InDesign. Alltogether it was $1000.

For graphic design, I use Illustrator & CorelDraw
My sister uses Xara X. It's an ok program, if you want a cheap program that is easy to use.

I use Photoshop 7.0 and Illustrator 8 (I haven't upgraded yet)
I am going to look into Fireworks soon

I have to refresh... my *NEW* favorite graphics app is Photoshop CS... mmmmmmmm.... droool.
If you haven't used it, you should.

I don't know, the only program I've indepthly (if that's a word) used was called Ulead PhotoImpact. It's really great and the effects are pretty cool. I did have a Chinese version of PhotoShop once, but I could barely understand it, so I didnt' ever get to know PS.
I'm going for PhotoImpact.

Photoshop hands down for 2D. For 3D it kind of depends on the project, but there is quite a few I like. Zbrush is a cool one :)

photoshop 7.0
Posted by: anarchy
Photoshop 7.0 by far...
Posted by: Hackerman
I believe photoshop CS is the program I would use most if I had it. Right now its photoshp 7.
The thing is, a real graphics designer relies not just on one program but many programs, such as flash MX, Bryce 5, and other programs. Thats why I use terragen, cant afford anything else at the moment. I spent my cash of photoshop.
