Paint Programs - Your Preferences

Photoshop CS4 for me.

I started out using PSP but plunked down the cash for PS thinking it would be better. At 1st I hated it but having skin in the game I stuck with it & now I wouldn't give up Photoshop for anything.

They all do the trick, some do certain aspects better/easier than others. it largely comes down to personal preference.

You mean Inkscape, right?

My go-to tool for everything that might require vectors. A bit clumsy to use, but gets the job done.

I've been using Jasc (now Corel) PaintShop Pro 7 ever since I got into painting and detailing planes in 2004. It's a good program but... it won't open Adobe PhotoShop .psd files which seem to be the standard file format for most airplanes' paint kits nowadays. .......

As I am a PSP7 user as well I know the problem. A work around is to open the files with Gimp and to save them in psp format. This way I have been able to convert all files I have encountered so far.
I have considered to switch to Gimp as it is a very sophisticated program, but so far I didn't find to time to get as familiar with Gimp as I am with psp7.

Not that I'm an expert painter, terrible in fact, but I switch between GIMP and paint.net. There's also a plugin for paint.net that opens and allows editing of PSD files. I seem to prefer it to GIMP. Maybe that's why I'm terrible at it. :)
