Paint or PhotoShop?


Question Posted Thursday August 28 2008, 9:32 pm

Okay, so I was wondering which one is better?
Paint or Photoshop?

Also, what is the difference?

And what is the best like type? Like PhotoShop Pro? Or whatever.

How much do they cost?

Thanks. Because I was planning on getting one or the other and I want one where I can sort of make like banners or layouts or like stuff (for buddy4u, if you've heard of it. That's what I need it for.)

Thanks! Peace, + Love!

Photoshop is a professional image editing software (Not that the only people who use it are professionals), and costs about $650-$1000 (Which may explain why it's so commonly pirated). The newest version is Photoshop CS3.

Paint, on the other hand, is free, comes bundled with Windows (You probably already have it), is really quite limited, and has been basically the same since the Windows 3.x days.


Having that said, in most cases photoshop would be the "better" choice, but for you, I wouldn't recommend shelling out $650+ to make some silly banner.

Honestly, I would go with PhotoShop. PaintShopPro is okay but it seems like it has just about everything that something like photofiltre has, which is FREE. If you want here is the link:

I use this program all of the time to do banners and icons and what not.

If you REALLY want to get technical, GIMP is another great place to do such things.I think it has more than Photofiltre but is harder to learn everything with. I think it is personally better than Paint but if you wanted, using both Photofiltre and GIMP works well together and both are free.

But if you're REALLY into only the 2 options you've given, go with Photoshop even though it is more expensive.

I hope this helped!
