"Photoshop" substituition?

[Frostweaver]

Was wondering... so many guides (like Zeo's) use photoshop for making fake cards, but I wonder if there are any possible methods for poor people to get around an all-time-expensive program? (and on top of that, if such a program exist, will the photoshop tutorials not work anymore since... it's not photoshop?)

(oh, and go begging a rich kid at school or annoying a friend for a burnt copy of photoshop do not count as a valid solutoin =p)

We need a poor man's guide to fake card making ;o;

Well, as Photoshop is the most effective method for faking, that's the reason there are so many guides for it. Try to find a free copy of Paint Shop Pro, as that would look mucho better than Paint. If worse comes to worst, download a 30-day trial of Photoshop. It'll give you an intro to faking.

Otherwise, no one can really help. Sorry.

I dont think this is allowed in PC, and I have read the rules but to be safe I'll just type in the name of the program and just google it.
First, well, if you want any Photoshop, you get a p2p program. Easy one to get is the free version of Bearshare or Limewire. (Limewire recommended for software) Easy as that. And just download it take about 30-45 minute and (and makesure you download one that comes with serial) put it serial and install and there we are. If your serial doesnt work, you can type down photoshop <your version> serial seperately and all this crap will come up to download. This is NOT against the rules I dont think. I dont think P2P are illegal operations, so I refuse to rest my case. O-o And i hope this helped and read it before some stupid staff member deletes this whole post if it even is against the rules, which it isnt.^^;

lol... if I can use p2p ware I would have downloaded the world years ago... or whatever a 20g hard drive can hold =p But no I tried learning how to use Kazaa for 2 years continously and failed at that XD;; so p2p is... not an available source o.o; Anything beyond "right click, save target as" is too complicated already >>; (in fact, I got lost by the 3rd line in Minun's post x.x)

I couldn't find paint shop pro either... most of them are accessory add-ons and etc etc. Of course, anything that cost more than a penny is outside of what our financial budget allows...

Guess that I'll think of something else instead of card then... thanks anyway ^^
