What software is best for creating art through photography and digital designs?
I’m a photographer that is becoming more and more interested in combining photography and graphic design. Photoshop seems too complicated. I’d like to find something that is intuitive and can also be used to create original works.
Thank you.
I’m sorry that PhotoShop is seeming too complicated for you, b/c it is a REALLY cool program, once you get the hang of it. There is so much that you can do w/ it. I thought I would never get the hang of it, but I did -w/ a lot of patience and practice, and it was so worth it to learn it. Since then, I’ve become very spoiled to it, b/c I have yet to find anything that even comes close to the features it has to offer.
The Corel programs are pretty cool, and they don’t seem nearly as complicated as PhotoShop.
Maybe you could try some free trial downloads from download.com, and see which digital photo editing software you are most comfortable w/ before buying it. -That’s just what I would do, personally.
I’m also not trying to imply anything, but the “Dummies” books and the “Idiot’s Guide to…” books are great for learning new skills fast, and I believe there is a “PhotoShop for Dummies” -if you ever decide to give PhotoShop a go. Either way, I hope you do well w/ whatever software you decide is right for you.
