Photoshop Tutorial :: Lightning Blast

[Deach]

PS = Photoshop = Adobe Photoshop
PSP = Paint Shop Pro = Paint Shop Pro

PSP is not like a n00b program, its just that I don't think it has as many features than PS or something

[Georgyw5k]

PSP is the biggest n00b program ever , i have had it and used it.

Anyway, here's my result. I put in an "IDDI" logo I made too. Suck a bit though.

EDIT: That logo sure didn't fit in there.

Yeah PSP is like a beginners program for gfx, and then PS is for Advanced Users.

What does that stand for by the way? lol

I'm just now starting to want to learn how to do this... So can somebody tell me what these stand for and why PSP is a noob program (i dont want a n00b program. Even if I am one.)

Thanks

Yeah, as Elin said, 'PS' Stand for Photoshop, and 'PSP' is Paint Shop Pro.

Paint Shop Pro is a n00b program because it's easy. Photoshop isn't really very hard to learn, though. You should go with Photoshop in my opinion, cause if you start with Paint Shop Pro and then decide to go over to Photoshop, it'll be harder. I find Paint Shop Pro really confusing, as I'm used to use Photoshop. It's up to you really. But I'd go with Photoshop, as it's got a lot more filters and tools and is the best program out there.

Nice! Colorize it with CTRL+U and it'll be much better.

Ty for the compliment, colored it! IMO it looks better

Maybe you should make the bright area brighter. I think that will look better.
