Hi,

Just wondering whats the best programs around .. (willing to pay for them) for.. Web designing, and Pixel design..?


Currently using fireworks, Dreamweaver and Photoshop

[Kieran]

Well your basic is Paint
Then there's GIMP which is also free
Then my favourite, Photoshop

Hey,

I dont think you can really go wrong with MS Paint for Pixel work, It works and of course it comes pre-installed on Windows.

For website designing I would say Fireworks + Photoshop. When developing its a bit different, I like using Dreamweaver but I normally use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) or pNotepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/).

[L?KE]

If you wana pay, phpDesigner 2008 ;)

I use paint for pixel work, and fireworks for sites.

[Jack!]

i use MSpaint for pixel art then dreamweaver 8 for site ..Simple to use and it does the job!

As people have said, MS Paint for pixel work and habbo style layouts, Photoshop for other layouts and stuff.
And then for coding I use phpDesigner 2008 or Komodo IDE.

For graphics I use photoshop. I have found it useful in everything I do whether it be pixel art or photo touch-ups. I tend to use dreamweaver for its quickness when I come to code.

I used to use 'Graphics Gale' a while back when creting pixel art. Quite a useful program.

Photoshop for most,
Illustrator for Vector imaging,
Dreamweaver for quickness when coding,
Then Eclipse for programming.

Photoshop for all graphic design.
Coda for all coding.
Transmit for all file transferring.
Firebug for all error checking or fast editing.
FlexBuilder for all AIR application coding/designing.

I really all depends on what operating system you're on, Mac OS generally has better and cheaper applications in the area of web design due to their user base. However Windows will have a much wider but usually more expensive product range.

Best way to put it in your last paragraph ^^

[Protege]

Graphics = Fireworks
PHP/HTML/CSS/JS/ Scripting/Coding = PHP designer 08 + Notepad ++
Debugging = FireBug + Fiddler
Multimedia applications = Flash CS3 + Flash Pro (latest)
Windows Applications + ASP = Visual Studio 2005 (vb.net)
Python Applications = Python 2.5
3d Graphics = Gmax/3ds
