Hi

That is a good question, you know adob Photoshop CS5 costs only $699 to purchase .. There are even more edition which costs more than $1500

[Dilip]

Thanks, CS 5 will do for normal use right ? logos, banners etc

[axeldevara]

not use but very useful,for banner or animation better to buy adobe flash...but if you can't purchase those two ,then for the anime just use photoscape

[Scrubsy]

It'll cost you £500 and it's alright for banners but I suggest Flash or Fireworks as they work better.

Thanks axeldevara, Scrubsy.

I am just a beginner in graphics tool. Currently using Photoscape. But it does not allow to open more than one image. I mean open 2 images at a time cut a part of one image and paste on other etc. Batch editor seems to have global changes not individual changes.

then for the anime just use photoscape

You mean Animated GIF option ?

If you're new to it all then you might want to check out:

Already installed. But my main use is like adding watermark. Adding text in GIMP in a nightmare compared to Photoscape. But obviously GIMP is an advanced tool and may be I am missing something. Try to learn still, hope will be able to understand after sometime.

what do you mean with that? do you want tocombine them? search in google

Suppose you are making a diagram, like first connect from this card, a line to this etc. Photoscape allows only one image at a time. And batch editor is kind of global changes to all. We cannot have 2 windows open in Photoscape and do different things to them.

As far as I know, photoshop allows you to have pretty smart animation in it. If you need something for basic animation, photoshop can do that also.
