There's also a home version of Photoshop called Photoshop Elements. which comes with tablets for example Wacom.

Photoshop Elements is actually an old version of Photoshop (I think it's 6) that has been slightly modified, most notably to work with the newer Windows operating systems.
If you're a student, it's quite cheap. I think it only runs about $60 at the student price. It also has all the features anyone just starting out is ever likely to need.
Still, The Gimp is free and has all the same features. :P So I suppose it comes down to preference and priorities.

well... no. if you know photopaint8 then by no means change software and learn everything again, that would be stupid.
and by the way, i prefer to convert all my graphic files (excepts for pictures with details) to 256 Color png. Irfanview does a marvelous job at creating just the right palette for whatever colors you use. and unless we are talking about HDTV gaming at 2084+ resolutions, nobody is going to see a difference if the red is a tad darker anyways. but still, irfanview generally spots the exact colors.

@Pisica: I have PhotoPaint at work, and it seems to be pretty lame to me... I mean, I dislike Corel's interfaces in general (not any user-friendly IMO, but that won't be the problem if you're used to it), but I think Photoshop can do much more than PhotoPaint can... on the other hand, if you have PhotoPaint, there's no reason you should spend a shitload of money just for what Photoshop offers... I think you're fine with PhotoPaint, as long as it supports things like alpha-settings, which I'm not sure of right now.
In older versions of RM you could choose whether or not the sprites would "align to grid" when using the built in animation feature. I personally hate it and wish I could get rid of it in RMXP is this possible? By default, the sprites align to a grid that goes by 8 pixels while adjusting with the mouse, but you can then go in and adjust by right clicking>>properties. This works out fine in the end... but it's a GIANT PAIN IN THE BUTT and is SOOOOOOOOOOOO slow. I hope there is a way to change this. Thanks!

Older versions of Paint Shop Pro were regarded higher than Photoshop as far as pixel editing goes, for various reasons, but it has in recent years become basically garbage for everything but photo editing.
I miss Paint Shop Pro 6!

Wow, this thread is still here XD
@Kicks: This has not much to do with this thread's purpose, and I also don't get your question... try to explain it better in a new thread in the RGSS Support or Script Request forums...
@arc: The reason I'd consider PSP > PhotoShop in means of spriting'd be that PSP has palette support. Well, like I wrote in the first post, I never used that program, but I can't imagine why they'd get rid of that feature...
