Photoshop vs. PSP

Recommended Posts

I've had almost every version of PSP since 7, and it does everything for me I need it to do - including a bunch of stuff I haven't even tried.

 

I know a couple people here who started with PSP and switched to Photoshop, and I'm just curious why you decided to switch, and what you've found since that Photoshop does for you that PSP didn't.

I actually use both. I like to use PSP when resizing photos - probably because I'm used to it and have it down to a science. One of my clients consistently sends me super large photos that I have to crop down and resize, so I use it for that mostly.

 

I am still a Photoshop newbie, and I've been pretty pleased with my purchase. It does seem more robust when creating and manipulating images. It seems like there are more options. And it's been fun finding new brushes and patterns to download and use in PS.

 

But the biggest advantage to me has been the ability to really work with .PSDs. I work with a couple graphic designers who send a .PSD to me so I can code their designs (too bad I can't put all that in my portfolio!).

 

Will PSP work with .PSDs? I've never looked....
