Photoshop

I'm going to explain to you where to get it, so no more threads asking about where to get it and how to make signatures. First off there are several photoshops, most designers use version 7 and up. (7, CS, CS2, CS3)

The program that is used for most designers that just do signatures is photoshop.
You can get it at Adobe, if you don't feel like paying for it... oh well go find the torrent or crack yourself. Do not ask for it here.
As far as making signatures go, do not make a thread just asking "how to make a sig" as there are tutorials that teach you these kind of things.
If you have questions ABOUT photoshop and how to do some things, feel free to post but PLEASE check the tutorial section before doing so.
