I need help.

I don't know how to make cool graphics.

I can't afford to buy CDs over the net. Does any one have a suggestion?

Thanks

You could have looked at the topic at the top of this board about free graphics programs. I suggest going there and choosing one or more to download and play around with if you can't afford Photoshop and are wary of using it "illegally."

Funny, You are graphix_crazy! Crazy people can do anything to satisfy their crazy! Hope you have some graphic editor and you want to learn how to design cool graphics. For this you want some tutorials. Go through the following photoshop tutorials links:

I reccomend The Gimp. It's very nice, kind of like a free version of Photoshop. although, I've never used Photoshop, so I wouldn't know XD;;;...*clears throat* http://www.gimp.org/windows
It's very nice. If you want a sample of images that can be made in it before downloading, pm me.

You can also try Seashore it's free too:

http://seashore.sourceforge.net/index.php :)

Seashore looks like it's only available for a Mac x.x

If Iam not wrong, I hope graphix_crazy is having some graphic editor (Software) and he is not in position to buy tutorial CDs from internet. And he is not at all intrested to interact with replies we are made for him. Keeping his thread in view I posted some urls which can help him to learn some tutorials to meet his cool graphic designing. Let us wait for his intervention.

@ Kisara: you're right. But I think so is GIMP.... ;)

Gimp's available for Windows, Mac and Unix. Give me other popular os's and I'll check for them.

Well I have a MacOs X and I downloaded GIMP and installed it, but it won't let be opened, after like 2 seconds it just quits. even without error message. such a pity :(

Is the GTK runtime environment requirement still the same for Mac? *only ever worked with Windows* >>;

Oh, sorry ramakrishan_p, but I had my exams going on:scared: , thus, I was not able to reply.

And to everyone else, thank you for the suggestions! :)

erm.... what is the GTK runtime environment??:confused:
