Hi.

Just wondering how people get started to create graphics. Is just about all the work done here made by Photoshop or are there other programs that can do it as well? I have freeware called the GIMP and I think I might have grasped some of the basics but I can't see how I could use it to create such amazing graphics as are always on display here.

Can someone explain to me, or point to a tutorial how to create such things?

You need to ask this in Graphic Tutorials, Topic Moved .

you could go to this post and follow the link there it teaches you allmost all sfx in photoshop : http://www.smokyhosts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2316

But as per my original question - is there any other program that can do it besides photoshop, and if yes, what?

there are many program but at this stie photoshop is the best. also if you want a program that can do all the thing photoshop can then your gonna have to pay lol. there are no freeware programs in witch can match or come close to the powere of photoshop.

What other paid programs other than photoshop can do these things?

Well there's Macromedia Fireworks (i got firewors 8 and photoshop cs now, ).

cs 2 or just cs. also fireworks is really good but it costs money so i maintain my point.

Can you do any of this stuff with Gimp?

If yes, does you know of any sites with tutorials for how to do these things?

Thanks very much

give me a link to the site and ill let you know.
