I'm new at the whole "photo editing" thing, and I really have no idea how people do those amazing abstracts. I'm pretty sure that there are others like me out there, so I figure it might be a good idea for people to be able to post what software they use, why they like it, and how you can get it. This might help out all us clueless people out here who want to try to get unclueless (I think it's getting late :-). Anyway, I'm also in the market for some good software, so please feel free to give advice. And maybe you can learn something new as well :).
Jeremy, HERE IS A LIST of most software used on the site. If you see an image & want to know more about it, please PM the artist & ask them what software they used. There are a few softwares that have free trial downloads, but all are available for purchase @ your favorite computer store or online :=)
Hope this helps.
