What software are you using to repaint our aircraft?

Post by Michal - A2A »

A question to our repainters.

I would like to know what software are you using to repaint our aircraft. If you're using more than one program, please choose your main one.

If your software is not mentioned in the poll, choose 'other' and please write about your program below. If you are using the Photoshop, please let me know which version.

Photoshop Elements 9 - though I would use something else for curved lines.

Corel Draw Suite X7 - and all previous versions since V3

Edited - I had to vote "other" in the poll question, because there is a big difference to Corel Photopaint and the Corel Draw X7 suite - using "just" Corel Photopaint is like using Photoshop without Adobe Illustrator and all the other extras...

Sorry, I am professionally pedantic :wink: I work in QA management

I used to use Elephants, sorry Elements 9 and Paint Shop Pro, but they simply couldn't do what "full" Photoshop could, so these days I use CS4.

However to echo Mr Brisland's product pedantry, CS4 doesn't include Illustrator or anything else. Photoshop is part of the Adobe "Creative Cloud" suite, technically a photo editing part, rather than the image creation part, which would be Illustrator, not the suite itself. Good grief, that suite has some bizarre pricing options!

Just for the record, I'm using Photoshop CS5 as my main texture painting program.

Photoshop and Illustrator CS6. Thinking of going to CC but not sure about "renting" Photoshop.

Using the 64bit Nvidia plugin tool for DDS, mips(or not) and cube maps.

CS6 Extended for me. It does more than I will EVER need...or be capable of using! :D

EDIT: Treated myself but the comment is still relevant, maybe even more so. :D
