Which Programme?

As virtually a complete beginner at all this designing what programme would be the easiest to use?
I've got both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and PSP 9

 

Both are relatively easy to use, just check out the tutorials for some info on how to create designs using them

 

like kazuya said both pretty easy to use although i would say that paintshop pro 9 is more user friendly but you cant do as much with psp9 you can do more in ps ^_^

 

So basically if i can get to grips with PS i'd have more options when editing my designs?
Thanks for your quick replies

 

save ya money and get a Adobe Photoshop CS not CS2 cuz it be cheaper due to the new on out but still get to do all the same as CS2 but for a cheaper price

 

Now you tell me LOL . like i said in my original post i've got both PS CS2 and PSP9

 

You will probably be better off going with photoshop, mostly because there are more tutorials and things aimed at ps than at psp that ive seen, so you would recieve more help if you need it

 

i would use CS2 then.
there are more recources for photoshop then for paint shop pro

 

i would say a more advanced banner i would use photoshop, a basic banner use paint

 

dont listen to this, it is not true, CS2 has more brushes, more filters, and more memeory options, it is only a mem-hog if you can't edit options.

and this website. is good for tutorials.
