I REALLY like how Paint.Net is just simple and straightforward but in trying it out just a couple days ago I discovered it cannot save selections which is a huge neccessity.
I myself have always used Photoshop and nothing beats it but in trying to describe how I do something with Bryce and Photoshop, a lot of people just turn off when they read Photoshop because most people don't have that piece of $1,000 software, so they don't even bother with the tutorial at all.
So, Gimp it is.
Oh no! I can't use GIMP. I know it's free, and I've tried and tried. I heard you were supposed to be able to get it to look and work like PhotoShop - but it's nothing at all like PhotoShop, it's so alien I just can't use it.
I worked in PhotoShop at College and after that at Uni, and through Uni I managed to get an education version of CS4.
So I'm now stuck with that as I can't afford to upgrade to whatever the CS is now and I can't get used to GIMP.
