I use photoshop and sometimes GIMP to achieve different graphic effects and layouts. If anyone is using photoshop and wants to learn some neat tricks, go to //http://psdtuts.com. Is Paint.net any good?

To answer your quetion orion, I find that Paint.NET is quite good and much easier to use than Gimp. (not sure about photoshop) It can turn a picture into a sketch, painting, or ink (looks like a comic style) drawing. It can use couds to make negative effects with its difference cloud, or a neat effect (not sure how to describe it) with its Xor cloud. It has a number of colours, and the alpha can be applied with the eraser.

Sounds a lot like photoshop. I'll check it out.

[Omega]

hmm, maybe I should try photoshop sometime...

[Dr.Dixie]

The GIMP. I'd say I'm very slowly working up to advanced. I wouldn't claim I'm that good with it right now...

This is a pretty old thread, heh. I mean, just look at Gameboy...

*mocks*
'beginner
... Elves? Anyone?

[gameboy]

Hey, I said I was learning quickly, only I didn't expect for it to go that fast ;)
UPDATE:
gAMeboy - intermediate - GIMP - for all 2D icons and a textures - Photoshop CS 4 - for complex textures, I use GIMP because it easy and versatile, Photoshop for its Sheer Power.
BTW I think the GIMP is bent more towards the website designer's side rather than what a game artist needs.
