Whats The Best Program To Create Graphics For A Web Page??

[Ribeyed]

Personally Fireworks MX

[Stefan]

I like www.gimp.org becuse it's both powerfull in capabilities as well as freeware (and thus available to everybody).

GIMP comes free with Linux which I will install on my computer soon.

Hi,
sorry i though you ask what the best graphics program was to create graphics for websites. You didn't specify if it was the best free one or the best money can buy?????
Surely the free ones can't be as good as one you have to buy?
To me free normally means crap, having to buy, not always but most of the time means your getting something good.

Hope this helps you decide

it also depends on your meaning of "free". many design programs would cost lots of money if you went out and bought them, but they become free thanks to kazaa.

well now i use adobe photoshop 7
And indeed tnx to kazaa its free.
But i c some grapics on site's and i think how the hell dit they make that.
Adobe is good but i dunno how to get the best out of it.
http://www.euro.owns.it is a site i made with it.
But i cant seem to make a code where i can just make 1 pic and then it addapts his size to the text thats on it.
i know i ask weard questions but i'm just lurning how to use html codes.

Yes they can. Just download Gimp and see for yourself...

You mean like a Linux + apache makes for a crappy webserver since it free and W2k + IIS is much better with eg higher uptimes just becuse it will cost you the shirt of your back?

You need do do a reality check I think...

i use fireworks 4 and most of the time it works fine. i can usually get it to do what i want. i have photoshop 7 downloaded, but i have yet to get the hang of it. people tell me photoshop is much much better than fireworks, i just find the program to be needlessly compilicated thus far.

I don't think Pete would be happy to hear about illegitimate downloading of commercial applications. Thus I can only presume you meant, you'ld download 'trail versions' of such commercial software via peer-to-peer.

It also depends if you want to use Vector or Bitmap.

Yes i mean Linux and apache makes for a crappy webserver, everyone knows that. Thats why 5% of people use that free crap. Of couse its going to cost your shirt of your back, who every heard of getting the very best for free (leagaly)?
I think i need to come live in your country Stefan, get my reality check and get all the best products and services free. I could also set up buisness providing the very best for FREE or i can make crap stuff and try sell it.

Try Photoshop 7.0 and Illustrator 10.0

I'm going to guess that number was off the top of you head, and probably drastically low.
