What is the best progam to make textures?

i was wondering,how they do it?what program,opacity WTF i dont know,YOU tell me!

programs = { "Gimp", "Photoshop", "Paint.NET", "Other" }

echo( programs[ math.random( 4 ) ] )

well,i think Gimp i would use to spinny effects,Photoshop idk im learning maybe some effects,Pain.NET never tried before,i heard about photoshop elemets,its cool for abstract head textures and robotic textures :P

Fact: All of the "popular" and more successful toribash-texture artists use photoshop.

DarkJak uses gimp afaik.


Gimp is just as useful as photoshop for a toribash texture artist, and has the advantage of being fully free, unlike the several hundred dollars for photoshop.

(Yes I know most of you fags pirated photoshop, doesn't make it alright. :/)

Actually, mine came with my laptop :/.

I find Photoshop much easier than GIMP because GIMP is more dis-obeying while Photoshop is much easier to use and has more effects.

In my opinion...
Ease of use:

1. Paint.NET
2. Photoshop
3. GIMP

Functionality:

1. Photoshop
2. GIMP
3. Paint.NET

Speed:

1. Paint.NET
2. GIMP (Seems to take a while to load)
3. Photoshop (Newer versions are too bloated)

I tend to use Photoshop over Paint.NET for bigger tasks, if I want to do some simple editing I'd use Paint.NET. I never use GIMP, it's probably ok, I just never learnt to use it.

yeah i do. ^_^
Unless you ARE doing uber advanced techniques, then GIMP should be enough.

Wow, thanks chac...way to be respectful towards other members.



So true. The new version, 2.6 keeps on going to the wrong canvas, so I have to keep clicking on the other ones until it goes to the right one. It probably makes it 10% harder. The first version I had (I can't remember which) worked perfectly.
GIMP is ok if you are starting, but it really isn't as smooth. Especially if you are using more effects and stuff.
The only reason I can live with it is cuz I rarely use filters anymore. Otherwise, I woulda "bought" Photoshop.

Also, the size of GIMP is a lot smaller, if your computer is already bogged down, then PS might slow it down a lot more.


Gimp is pimp, but most pimp suits are made of crappy material ;)
jk

Well,i cant get it,gimp,its just hard for me lol TOO SIMPLE XD but is a good program :/

I use Adobe Fireworks for all my graphics work.
