80LS1T Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I would like to get a photoshop program for my computer to see what my car would look like with certain mods. What are you guys using for a program? I am a very quick learner when it comes to computer stuff so I dont need the most basic photoshop but I also dont what a professional version that has a gazillion extra features that I will never use. I just want to change the colors, add different wheels, add body components......stuff like that. Thanks, Guy Oh and where did you get it?

Guest RCNSC Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Uh.. Photoshop. Got a free copy/registration from my uncle. Takes a while to learn, but its easy once you get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 You can try a program called GIMP. it's free and almost has the same features as PS, it just doesnt have the support or community that PS has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Adobe man.. check my post in the body/paint forum. That pic took notime at all, and I just figured out the program recently. (used to use a Mac.. cant remember the program name though.._ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Uh.. Photoshop. Thanks Now is there anywhere I can download a free version or should I just go down to Best Buy and get a copy? I will probably stick with photoshop just due to the fact that a lot of guys on this board have it and would be able to help me if I had questions. Are there multiple versions? If so which one should I get? Thanks, Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z-fried Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 There is only one version available, Adobe Photoshop CS. Pricetag = $649. Free 30 day trial click here http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=39 If you know someone who is an educator(professor, teacher, etc.), they can order it for you for about half price.

zguy95135 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I got mine for free too from my friend, I might be able to make a copy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I like Paint Shop Pro. It's about 100 bucks and works fine. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phailure Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 If you're a student, try going for educational versions of software... its alot cheaper. I'm using full version of adobe PS 7.0 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Anything can be had for free if you know where to look. Get a program call dc++ installed on your PC(takes less than 1 minute) and you can DL anything in the world. It's like the Ferrari of file sharring programs, but this one is free since it's open source. http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 One more thing use Kazza for cracks/hacks only, but scan anything you DL before you open it. If you have any questions about how to use DC++ ask me and I'll help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 31, 2004 Author Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yeah I found that Adobe site last night and I was quite shocked at the price tag on that full Photoshop CS! I was like "hmmmmmmm nope dont need that!" Maybe I can get an older version of photoshop? Im going to go check it out tomorrow. As for downloading of a file sharing program...I would really rather not. I havent had much luck with Kazaa especially! I hate Kazaa, nothing but viruses if you ask me!

Guest iskone Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Yeah, Kazza is crap! DC++ is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Yep, Photoshop is the answer. I've got 6.0 and 7.0, both of which are good enough for what you are talking about. I got mine for a couple hundred bucks from the University of Oregon bookstore using a friend's student discount. That's the cheapest way to get it!!

JMortensen Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I haven't really run into any limitations since buying Photoshop Elements 2.0. $100 and it does all I need. The full version is wasted on me, since I'm not a graphic designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
