Staredit Network

You can't do something extraordinary in paint? Ahem...

That's link is not working, but is it the one that has the Gandalf?

Agree.
It takes little or no skill in PhotoShop to do things, but in paint it takes forever and you have to know more than just "OMGITSSONOOBBECAUSEITSTOOGOODFORMETOHANDLE".

Yea right, let's ignore that there are only few people in the world who can actually make something good in paint. But yea, we are all newbs just because we don't use PAINT!

Also, we are all newb mapmakers because we use advanced map editors instead of staredit.

That's a very wrong comparison.

Advanced map editors give you new functions that cause things to happen that there's no way you could do in the normal editor. However, there's no image that can be created in Photoshop and can't be replicated in Paint. It's just harder in paint because it doesn't has lots of functions that calculate pixel values and do 90% of the work for you when you use them.

I'd still go for PSP. I need it to export SC palettes

And everybody who use advanced programming language are newbs who can't do that in the primitive ones. And human kind are all newbs becawse we use advanced weapons to kill eachother when we can use sticks & stones !

I see no reason why you do believe it this little thing. Paint is pixel editor, for example it has no layers. If you need an overlay layer that enhance color of 1600x1600 photo, it takes few seconds in PS. You can't do that in paint, even theoretically nobody can correctly replace 2560000 pixels to gain the same overlay effect as in PS. Thats just impossible and there is nobody who could do that, not even the gendalf guy.

That was only 1 small example.

Oh yes, I shall utilize paint, a program with which it will take me forever to create good-looking web graphics, and they won't even be that good looking. A few specific people like that gandalf guy and holysin might use paint to do stuff, but I have no gift for that, so how dare I try to make a good looking website with the help of photoshop! It's outrageous!

You guys are just getting stupid. Photoshop is easier to use, but lousy for making pixel by pixel graphics (overly-crowded interface for pixel by pixel). They're both good for what they were made to do: MSPaint is a simplistic photo editor with the bare-bones minimum, Photoshop is a professional graphics maker designed with web designers in mind.

May I note that cutting out ready pictures and putting them together is not making something. 'WOW man you cut out IE and FF logos and put them together? No way, that awesome!!..."

You haven't made any renders from games, you cut them out... And by saying can't handle pain you mean? People who can't use copy/paste and cut tools in paint? I believe there are no such. I haven't seen anything that you have actually made in your godlike paint, only copy/paste stuff.

But what I said is useless anyway, because you are too arrogant to admit that something other than your damn opinion could be right. When your out of any logical arguments you just start to post random crap that doesn't make any sense, way to go terrorist that is not a weapon...(or w/e)

Never used paint, but I doubt it has any advantages over photoshop except bragging rights.

Photoshop can do pixel by pixel fine.

Paint I just use it for drawings of stuff. But I don't use it for anything else.
