What's the best program for Banners in your opinion?

Thank you,

The three major are Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop, and Gimp(for me, in that order). Gimp is good because its free, PSP is cheap compaired to PhotoShop but will still cost you a little bit. PhotoShop is way overpriced.

Not for what it's meant for - which is preparing print graphics done by graphic design professionals. Nothing else can come close to Photoshop for that.

For web graphics, what you want is Photoshop Elements. It's only $100 normally, and $50 for students. It has everything that's in regular Photoshop, except for CMYK / color matching (print support) and some scripting. Everything else is there. It still amazes me how many people spend the $600 or $700 on the full Photoshop without either realizing that Elements exists, or that it does everything they could possibly need.

I actually tried Photoshop recently, and I hate it. In every other painting program I've used for any length of time, right-clicking paints with the background colour. But noo, not Photoshop. Photoshop pops up a nice annoying menu every time you right-click. It drives me absolutely insane. =P

ever tried pressing the x button on the keyboard..? I love photoship:)

I assume that swaps the colours? And no, I haven't tried it because I'd never heard about it. =)

Nevertheless, even with that shortcut I'd STILL be right-clicking all the time out of habit.
