PS or Flash?

Super-Human Posts : 3179 Registration date : 2008-01-26

Hi!

I've had this question in my head for a little while now, so I'll ask you now :P

Should I buy PS CS3, or Flash CS3?

If this were a few months ago, it'd have instantly been Flash, however, recently, I've stopped using Flash as much, and started using GIMP.

I've added a poll, but please post your answer and a reason, too. ;)

I've given you the option to change your vote, just in case someone else's reason changes your mind.

I perfer flash. Even though I don't know how to use it, I saw my brother on it and I knew right there what to do to make an animation! XD

I already have Flash 8, which is all you need to make an animation. The only major difference between Flash 8 and CS3 is AS3, which I've actually heard is more complicated XD

I say Photoshop CS3. Its basicly for designing but it can edit pictures and make signatures also. If your not into designing stuff and you like to have 'fun' with signatures or pictures I suggest using Elements 6.0. If you want to make a furuistic city (like I'm making) I suggest using Photoshop CS3.

Flash cs3:
Pros:

Action script 3 for u to learn XD
amazing drawing program.
Can make games.
Cons:
AS3 is harder to learn.

Ps:
Pros.
One of the best gfx programs out there.
Cons:
hard at first.

There both very different things. If you want to make animation then go with Flash CS3. If you want to add affects and edit picture go with Photo Shop CS3.

If you get Photoshop cs3 extended then you can edit movies/animation frame by frame or make animation. :D

I would have to say PS.

Photoshop has a more friendly interface and is more fun to use than flash when you are a beginner. Photoshop and Flash server two completely different purposes, though, so it is hard to say which one is better unless you can decide which one you want to do more; Design or Program. I have to say, I've had more fun with PS than I've had with flash

If I am doing artwork on my tablet, Flash no doubt; it can create a very straight line and is better than the Photoshop with drawing things. However, if I am editing a photo, I will use Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Photoshop is better than drawing things. Ever heard of 'Speed-Painting'. Exactly.

Seen as you have Flash, i'd say get PS. Great for designing, you can animate a lottle too, experiment and learn!

Does anyone read the new posts before replying? He is getting the web premium package, that's illustrator, flash, photoshop, fireworks, acrobat, and dreamweaver. He won't need to choose anymore. :P

Why must you torture me, CC?

I say you should buy Photoshop. I use Photoshop for better graphics for my Flash. If you have Flash get Photoshop. From what I have done, AS3 isn't that hard to learn so far. I don't use it a lot but still, it hasn't been hard.

I say if you have Flash 8, get Photoshop. The difference between GIMP and Photoshop is larger than between Flash 8 and Flash CS3.

To make my post smaller...

Exactly what he said.

Don't buy either, just get them both for free from a warez site. I've got both and elements 6.0.
