And I don't want any of the 'To edit pictures duuuuur' kind of response. What kind of pictures, why do you edit them, what are they going to be used for etcetera. I figure that a lot of responses are going to involve PSing Dream Theater in some way :')

I used to use Photoshop for my Graphics Coursework, where we had to make a board game (I chose Disney Princess :( ), but for the past year I've been using it instead of Paintshop Pro and things for my drawings, and because I'm kind of sad, I also use it to edit pictures for some of my Roleplaying Characters. Please don't shoot me!

Then there's the Photoshopping DT related stuff, such as my crappy album cover :')

Psshh, your status as a hobbit has just been a cover. Your cover has been blown.

I chose many of the options, because I use it for work sometimes and for doing artwork (both for personal use, for DTF, for my band) and other DT related stuff.

I can't afford Photoshop.  I use GIMP which is a free open source graphics program that can do many of the same things that Photoshop can do.  I used Photoshop briefly at one of my jobs about 12 years ago and it was just to build graphics for Web pages.  But that's sort of like buying a Lamborghini to drive the grocery store once a week.
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep just like my grandfather, and not like the screaming passengers in his car!

Bits and bobs, essentially.

I've done posters for my uni course (and expect to be using it a lot more if I get this job I'm angling for - more on that if I even get an interview), for events within the students' union, and I was asked to do campaign posters at the SU elections, so there's an element of that.

I also use it as my standard editing software, and will typically use it to rustle up an avatar, or just crop a picture for my desktop, etc. Used it to create my twitter background, and to do artwork for bits of music I rustle up on bandcamp. Back when I had a blog, I used it to make a logo for that, and still use that logo for my music.

Oh, and I occasionally use it to make people on the internet laugh - whether that's people I actually know, or people on here.

FAO anyone who can't afford photoshop... there's a pretty decent clone on the internet, free access. www.pixlr.com - almost identical. A little more primitive, but so much more powerful than MS Paint. Use it when I'm in a hurry. Cropping or fiddling with colours or what have you.

Nothing. That is a very expensive program.

Also, I am not an artist.

Artwork. I used to run a website for Photoshop tutorials and junk

MS Paint is 10000x more fun though.
