If you had about $100 (US) to spend on graphics programs, which ones would you buy?

This is probably gonna be your most referred to program

http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/?

Its Paint Shop Pro

Otherwise your probably looking at Photoshop Elements 2.0

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopel/main.html

Both come in at less than $100

I got Photoshop Elements bundled with my scanner. Haven't really ran it yet.

Not too sure if I'd jump on the PSP bandwagon before thoroughly testing Gimp.

You can pick up PSP7 on Ebay pretty cheap. $20-30 or so.

Okey-dokey. Thanks. I figured it'd be either PSP or Bryce. I'll have to try the demo.

I think PSP5 is available for free download...and/or on Magazine CDs....that'd be an ideal starting point....free and enticing and the same interface as the later [more powerful] versions...so what you learn on the freebie will benefit you on subsequent purchased versions...

It was, that is how I got my copy. PC Plus http://www.pcplus.co.uk/ gave away the full version of PSP5 some time ago. It was in issue Issue 201 - Disc 3.

I've downloaded the free 60-day trial from Jasc's website wow, is that ever easier to use than the GIMP!

I'd probably buy a big ole set of pencils, some charcoal, some sketch pads and maybe a couple of canvas boards

_footsie_ got it right, of course.  You will learn FAR MORE about graphic art, etc with the 'real' media.

It 'should' be a prerequisite for anyone attempting digital art.

A scrap of paper, pen and/or pencil will cost next to nothing as well....

Welllll.... I can't draw worth anything...

So, while we're on the subject, are there any books you'd recommend on learning how to draw?
