Graphics

I love photography and have been using my own photos for web graphics for some time. I got my hands on a copy of Paint shop pro and started making psp tubes. I used them often for various web graphics I have used. I could also download them from other sites and they are very useful. Now, I am finally launching into Adobe Photoshop and having used one graphic program, am finding it similar but so much more difficult and comprehensive in its features. I am using it to correct my digital photos that I am in the process of uploading to various stock photo sites. I made the little icon next to my URL address with Photoshop too.

In the meantime though, if you cannot afford Photoshop, then many of the following graphic pages will help. They are all freeware. They are not trials and not shareware. I do recommend Xara graphics as a very good, but cheaper way to create good graphics for a web site.
