Hi fellow ij rpers <3

Image/Icon Question!

So I use to be a PCer, and I had PSP for all my awesome graphic needs, would use it back when I designed sites, etc. Then I switched to a MAC, and never bothered getting a graphics program because I got lazy.

So, I've either been using the wonderful icon journals of IJ or making my own with Picnik.com. Truth is, I'm tired of my limited icon editing abilities with Picnik. Is there a better side that I can use to mess with colors or is there a place someone can point me with PSP or Photoshop for MAC? I've looked through the posts and have found the one for PCs, but will those not work on a mac?

Thank you!

	I'm not sure if this will work for you, as I don't know what browsers Macs support, but maybe give the Aviary suite a try? (Reply to this)

	I've found that pirating either of those programs for mac is very hard, but you could always try http://www.gimp.org/ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Seconding GIMP. My brother is a graphic designer by trade, and frequently uses GIMP for stuff on his laptop because it's smaller and faster than photoshop. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of PSP or PS, but it's good enough to do icons. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	too lazy to log into OOC account Thirding The Gimp. I use it for almost all my graphics needs. It took a bit to figure out(mostly because I suck at looking for tutorials), but once I did it's my LOVE. (Reply to this) (Parent)
