yea you all dumb.

I got MangoStudio for my dumbass ex.  She said it was garbage.

Then some cute korean girl at an anime con said it was good so she went OH YEAH I USE IT ALL THE TIME I KNOW ITS SO GREAT.

Then I showed her ClipStudio and she said it is way better than Manga Studio

even though its the same thing with different name.

Things like this are why she is my dumbass ex.

Back then, I had Photoshop 5 LE. Limited Edition? You bet it was limited, limited in functionality to be more specific.
First of all, if you exported any picture, it would apply some color correction profile to it, resulting in some slightly darker tinted appearance. Also, text layers would be converted to bitmap layers as soon as you were done typing the text - only one chance to do it right at the first time, no chance to do any corrections on your text later on.
I think this was supplied as a freebie with some parallel port flatbed scanning device.

Later on, a friend from the university handed me Photoshop 7. Much better. I'm still using it today, works from ye olde Win95 up to Win10 64 bit.

even though its the same thing with different name.

I desperately wanted to come up with some puns or jokes, but I failed. FML.

Yeah, I ran 5 before I had 6... It was kind of a nightmare.

When the PC's and Macs went to 64bit operating systems it was useless. or maybe that was PS4... but anyway it turned into a $800 piece of garbage as soon as you upgraded your OS. I remember a bunch of my developer friends losing their shit over this.

I personally lost my f*cking mind and smashed a bunch of shit. It was Pulp Fiction in my office for about 35 minutes.

How did going to 64 bit ruin photoshop?  Did it just straight up no longer run?

[xelement5x]

Yeah, Photoshop 7 is my workhorse app at home.  At work I've got the new versions but almost all the modern trappings for 90% of what I do are in 7 and it runs fine.

I used a 2002-3(?) version of Photoshop until 2-3years ago...

What's wrong with GIMP, folks?

What's wrong with GIMP, folks?

I've been using GIMP for ages. I'm used to it,  but because so many people learned photoshop or illustrator in school it hasn't received the same level of acceptance.

[Necromancer]

I used GIMP for a couple years before giving up on it and buying elements.  GIMP is powerful, sure, but it's not very user friendly.

[Punch]

I'm really tempted to install a 32 bit version of Windows + Photoshop 2.5 to see if the PCX palette bug was a recent f*ck up or something that was there from the beginning.

[Gredler]

Creative cloud sub, worth it!!

[blueraven]

Gimp is cool, nothing wrong with it and my go-to on a linux box. But in comparison...

If GIMP were equal to a building, Photoshop would be equal to a city. You can do just insane amounts of stuff with it... one example: make slices and build a completely interactive webpage complete with generated code from your artwork.
