design programmes besides adobe photoshop..

hey everyone,

i dont know if any of yous know this, but a couple of nights ago my computer decided "hey i dont think edgil needs adobe photoshop anymore, lets bang it in the ass and leave it for dead" and now im left with nothing to design on, all im doing is working on linework so once i get a design programme ill have the linework done and alot of time saved.

so the point of this post is:

can anyone tell me some design programmes i could possibly purchase/ download that opens psd files and illustrator files?

thanks everyone!

   I like painter and I haven’t had much trouble with it crashing.

   Not that it has never crashed, just not much. I save alot, anyway.

    How about Photoshop? You could download it as a 30 day trial straight from Adobe.
    Sorry... I don’t know if that helps er not.

    My photoshop crashes on me more than my Painter does.

    But I recommend painter x, it’s pretty good.

    If that doesn’t work, try photoshop. I think it’s at Adobe’s site.

    Well for vector stuffs there is Inkscape, its Open Source, thus free:

    http://www.inkscape.org/

    And if your running on a mac, you can try Pixelmator as a Photoshop replacement. It looks awesome and its cheap:

    I wish I had a mac so I could try it. The only thing it looks like it doesn’t have is the pen tool.

    i hate corel. it sucks.

    but why don’t you just reinstall photoshop? about a month ago my computer decided to randomly realize i don’t have a license for photoshop and not let me open it, so i just went out to the internet and downloaded creative suite 3. just find a nice keygen.

    It was a joke, the guy I quoted suggested photoshop in a thread asking for programs besides photoshop.

    Also, +1 for Inkscape, a pretty nice program for free.

    you should go to the adobe site and check the troubleshooting, some months ago all my cs3 programs stopped working, and I checked there and it shows you how to fix it.
