![]() Even after a decade of using it, there are still things I haven't learned about it-but I have the ability to create anything I need or want to make. I edit my photography, scrapbook, and design scrapbooking and commercial graphics with it. And if I want to take the easy route and use a premade style, brush, specialized gradient, or custom shape, I know that Photoshop is the industry standard, so there is something out there that matches my need-not to mention the actions (scripts) that I've written to make QCing go a LOT faster. Actions Alphas Photoshop Layer Styles Templates Photoshop Brushes Elements Frames Papers Commercial Use Scrap4Hire/Scrap4Others SuperBladePro Presets. ![]() It's mostly a case of which one you learned first, and whether you're the type to dip a toe in with a program that's likely to eventually limit what you can do and require changing programs and learning the new one, or the type to grab the big one, spend a couple days watching internet videos to learn the basics of the program, and then just get into it and DO, finding a video if you want to know how to do something new. I'm the second type, and while I've been on a limited budget for a long time, knowing I don't HAVE to buy a more powerful program later on justified purchasing Photoshop. It meant more cheap meals for a while, but it's been worth it. Quote: See in PS you can see what your brush will look like with various settings. In PSP there is no preview to it.and I think getting the right settings is a lot more difficult. Plus the brushes don't work smoothly in PSP. I agree that there is no preview of brushes settings in PSP, however, there are lots of settings: they are just hidden in the Brush variance palette when you only need the basic ones. Open that palette with F11 and you will discover a whole new world. ![]() How smooth the brushes work in PSP will depend on some settings: the step can be set to 1 if you have a small brush, but should be increased if you are using a LARGE one otherwise it lags. Also, if you find that the brushes have too much of a "jaggied" edge in PSP, try to reduce the hardness to 70 and it will look much better. Whether it is using just about any program, users often think they can't do something when they see it in a tutorial for another program, yet, they often do, just differently.
