    Paintshop Pro is limited compared to Photoshop, and yes professionals do use Photoshop As well as other programs

    Don't listen to these idiots. Buying Photoshop and practicing filters and shit will not make you a graphics designer. Take Design courses and read books on design. Learn the basics and what makes things look good. Learn how to organize and composite different elements. Learn color theory, typography, etc... If you are serious, don't go the route of thinking Photoshop is an Art. It's just a tool. Otherwise, you will end up like some losers on this forum who think the more time you spend on Photoshop, the better the graphic. These kids have no basic knowledge of design and think they are good because they found some combination of effects in Photoshop that look good. They will forever be stuck in message board graphics garbage-ville.

    I Never said that would make him a graphic designer... The kid himself never said he wanted to be a graphic designer... he said he wanted to get into it after seeing the Sigs people make here. I suggested messing around with the filters cause a lot of effects originate from the filters, and lets face it... Sigs are mainly Effects with text and the occasional Rap Figure...
