Scratch

Fireworks CS4. Yes - it's not on the list but it's better than photoshop, gimp and that Paint .net thing.

All I have is P.N...

GIMP is more professional than Paint.NET and has more tools, but personally I prefer Paint.NET because it's easier for me to use, and it's good when you don't have a tablet.

I use both, and I honestly don't have an opinion of which is better. I use them for different things.

Gimp I use to edit actual photos because I'm reluctant to buy Photoshop and all that expensive stuff

Paint.NET I use when I scan in my drawings. That's what I use to "ink" the drawing (filling the outline with black) and color it. Works really nice, actually.

So I really don't have a preference, considering I use them for completely different things.

Paint net but Photoshop is best but costs a heck of money

There's no such tool. You have to use the Oval Select tool and go to the "select" menu, and select "stroke selection."

Well, that just makes it unreasonably complicated.

That's why I like Paint.net, its so simple.

GIMP. I'm actually drawing out a picture of a wolf howling on a mountain as I write this. And GIMP works with or without a tablet (I have tried with both). It's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it. It's easier than another program that I have used - OpenCanvas - and it gives very realistic effects (my favourite is the smudge tool - I draw snow quite a lot). From what I've seen of Paint.net, the effects do look as if they were rushed when it was being made - they're just a little too unrealistic for me.

Paint.Net is preferred for simple art. It’s tool are all easy to use, however there are only 22 of them and they are all rather basic but the layout is very user friendly. GIMP is more along the lines of professional graphics disign, effects and quality wise, it is a big step up from Paint.Net. GIMP has much more advanced tools/effects and as such it is preferred for advanced art.

Paint.net v3.5.1:

I REALLY love your signature!! Did you make it with The GIMP? 

Thanks! Actually I made it with Paint.Net.

I like photoshop the best, but it's up to blade since he's the one who does art stuff

Seashore has some graphic effects, and you can sprite in it.

Paint.net seems to be better for spriting. ^_^

ARGH!!!
