Default Re: Computer art?

Photoshop really is more for what it says PHOTO manipulation and it is the best I've seen for that application. It does have a close cousin called Illustrator which is much more artistic from a creation point of view. Both are expensive. In my current line of work (software - web designer etc.) those Adobe products are the choice. They have a complete suite that includes everything but again it is much too expensive for normal play ($1800 for the suite).

The good part of those products is the extensive education and forums that are available since many professional artists and photographers use them.
