Quote - it doesn't matter which tools you use, it's the finished product that counts.

Exactly!

Another bias is a 2D graphic program. Everyone is "Adobe Photoshop!  Adobe Photoshop! Adobe Photoshop! Adobe Photoshop!"

You can do the same thing in PSP for 1/10th the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yet there are some people who are what I call "Adobe Snobs" who insist that unless it's done in Photoshop, the work isn't good, and anything done in another program such as PSP isn't serious work!  I even remember a thread here where someone said that you would be laughed out of the office if during an interview you said you used PSP instead of Adobe Photoshop.

My nephew is a freelance graphic artist/web designer who has contracted with companies that have worked on some major Hollywood movies.  He uses both PSP and Photoshop... about 50/50, and no one has laughed at his work!  And he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Like you said, it's not the tool that matters, but what you do with it. If the "tool" really mattered so much, some men would be in big trouble!!!!  :b_blush:  :b_funny:

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
