So my friend has CS5 and I need it for this kind of "project" we are doing, is he able to give me the disc for photoshop and let me upload CS5 to my computer?
I know you make icons, do you use CS5? Because I have Pixelmator and I was wondering if you were aware of any templates for Pixelmator to make icons. Define student. College?
Yea I use CS5. As far as I know, Pixelmator + .psds don't play well together, I tried it once but it didn't really work out. On a related note Gimp won't work for making icons either, since you need to be able to access the layers.
Not sure myself, never used Gimp. I'm just going off of what a friend on MT told me, Gimp doesn't do something that is necessary to make icons.
That's what I was afraid of, I tried one for Suave once, and I could see about everything, but couldn't do anything.
Gimp is painfully empty and lacks about a hundred million features by now, but it'll work for people with zero budget.
I hate Gimp. For a price, Photoshop has more features and is easier to use (IMHO). BUT... if you are broke and aren't looking to do anything major, Gimp works as a bare bones program.
Look, all I know is that I've seen many icons for themes made using Gimp, and they came out looking horrible. You won't produce good looking icons if you don't use the proper tools..Gimp just doesn't cut it.
