Can paintshop pro 7 make cool looking logos and banners? If so is there a tutorial out there? I really want to make a cool logo for my site and maybe some cool background stuff.......Thanks.

Hmm..I suppose you can make logos/banners? I know that, when I used it ages ago, I created a simple animated gif but that's about it. I suggest maybe downloading some trial versions of Photoshop or some other programs? Maybe even try The Gimp program?

Here are some links that may be of some help to you:

Good Luck! :)

I would spring for a cheap version of adobe illustrator 9 - you can make some very nice logos in their with it :)

Thanks for the links chic. I also have Fireworks MX 2004 and Animation Shop 3 so I dont know if either of those would be better. And logotutorial thanks for the suggestion but I just spent money on Studio MX 2004 academic version and dont have a lot of cash right now..........Thanks for the links. Will look into them!

I've heard some good things of Fireworks MX but I don't use it, touched it once and didn't really need it.

Work with whatever is comfortable and easiest for you...every program has a different learning curve..

Good Luck! :)

Thanks, I guess since I know Fireworks and Photoshop about equal.........I will both put them in a hat and draw out one and use that one since I know very little on both.

...programs don't make graphics...designers make graphics... :D

Fireworks is the superior vector program for Web imagery. Photoshop is the superior program for bitmap editing. Illustrator is the superior program for vector drawing for print. (All IMO, of course :) ) It all depends on what you want to do.
...programs don't make graphics...designers make graphics...
Very true. A novice designer with Macromedia Studio 2004MX and Adobe Studio CS at his/her disposal will make much worse visual design than a highly skilled conceptual designer/illustrator using MS Paint.

Okay i guess I will get to know both of them very well then after your little designers make graphics things.

MS Paint....ahh...those were the days? lol

Now it's all Wacom tablets and your software of choice :)

Hey once in awhile I still use Paint! software is too expensive nowdays!

I made the attached pic in PSP 7.... Yes it is very old, and I promise you I am much more professional today. :)

Thats actually really cool.......If anybody ever has any spare time they could write a PSP 7 tutorial for me *wink wink* haha! Nah you dont have to I am getting to know it a bit better....

Actually... I knew a website that had it... I will try to find the link but the problem is... It was on a forum that was deleted a while ago... Google "PSP 7 Tutorials".

Oh thanks.....yeah if you could find that I would be more happy than you can imagine...I created a couple things in paintshop pro this morning and they looke okay.....
