Hi all,
I love all the graphics we have on fanmail.biz and I just wondered what programs everybody uses to create avatars and sigs. I like to give it a go myself but dont know what program to get and if theres one I can afford, I heard adobe was about £100!
Thanks

I use Photofiltre. It's free and has about 75% of the features that Photoshop does. You can download it but going here.

I used to use photoshop. I now use Spalshup. Its free and you don't even need to download it. I cannot do blends as of yet(used to) but only count out blends.

I use photoshop, I mainly use it to make icons though, but I do like photoshop even though it's not free.

I used to make blends.
I used Jasc Animation Shop.
It was free
I didnt used to make amazing blends because I didnt know how to use all the tools on there but Im going to download it again soon

Actually you can get a photoshop for free. I downloaded it as a torrent on mininova.com and it came with a code and instructions how to install it...But I can find it on mininova anymore...And it's not really useful to me because it's very hard to work there (friend of mine needed few months to learn basic things) so I already deleted it.
I usually use Photofiltre

It's easy to use and you can make great things in it.
