Or perhaps you use it because it is FREE and included with every copy of Windows!  :)

Screw Paint.  I use Gimp, which is free and much more powerful.

Don't underestimate MS Paint, you guys! I actually made some pretty good promo posters on it for my anime club years ago.  I still remember making a promo poster for "Pizza & Turtles" night for my club's special screening of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon at my local sci-fi convention.  You can also import special fonts and high quality screenshots into it.

Hell, I also made some mock screenshot edits for Langrisser II for the Genesis on Paint just so I can show off my skills at the Hiryuu Honyaku game translation forums.

In short, MS Paint rules! :D

I kept thinking that you were saying "porno posters", not "promo".

MS Paint is excellent, it's gotta be the best Microsoft program by far and is one of the few non-open source programs I use.

Almost, but not quite. As capable as The GIMP is, it will never replace Photoshop until it supports CMYK and other non-RGB/greyscale colorspaces and cleans up the interface substantially.

Don't get me wrong, I use The GIMP at home (and Photoshop at work), but I wouldn't consider them in the same league just yet.

I've used Gimp to mess around but use cs2 for all of my deeds. I think that Gimp is a great alternative though. If only they incorporated cmyk  :-k

What would YOU do personally with CMYK, turbo D?

I would use it to make a portrait of you Joe  :wink:

But my portrait is just fine in RGB!
