March 4, 20188 yr Library Administrator Good evening, As my title says, I am looking for a preference. I am getting into painting and I have a guy who will assist me, however, I am curious to know what would be a more user friendly platform. Paintshop or Photoshop? If you dont mind give a brief reason why if you have the time. Thank you. Brian A. Neuman Proud simmer since 1982 using the following simulators: Sublogic Flight Simulator 1 and 2.

Sierra Pro Pilot, Looking Glass/Eidos/Electronic Arts Flight Unlimited I, II and III, Laminar Research X-Plane 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, FS Aerofly 2, Lockheed Martin Perpar3D 2.X, 3.X, 4.X and 5.X and Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020).

March 4, 20188 yr Adobe has a (Photographer) subscription to Lightroom and Photoshop for about $10/month. Some people hate that business model; but it fits my needs. So, for a mere $10/month you get both along with the regular updates and some other fluff. I would hate to use anything other than Adobe products so it would be unfair for me to compare Photoshop and Paintshop (or Gimp or Paint.net for that matter). I love both Photoshop and Lightroom. They have both been great tools for my photography and the little bit of painting I do. Also, this works with both Mac and Windows and you can install and run on two computers for the one price. Get the best and forget the rest.

March 4, 20188 yr I have been painting liveries since FS98 my main paint/preferred program was Photoshop, until, I started using Affinity Photo by Serif. I now use this excursively for aircraft liveries and photo/image editing. It is just as good as, if not better than PS and you actually buy, the product, with lifetime free updates not rent it as with PS (I loathe this business model). I have also used Paintshop Pro and Gimp which can achieve good results with some work. You can download a trial fully functional copy from Serif and decide for yourself.
