[RESOLVED] Image/Picture Software

[BillGeek]

Hi All

If you have a look at WinAmp, Windows Media Player, Sonique Media Player, basically any media player, you'll notice that they have amazing images for skins. Some look like they've been chrome-plated, (Reffering to WinAmp Modern Skin) others look like a black fridge with a reflection in it... (Media Player 11 Beta)

What software do / can they use to make such images? I have Jasc Paint Shop Pro 6, but it seems that it's not the right tool to make such "realistic" images.

What would you recommend to create such images? Or if it's possible in PSP, could you give me just a few general pointers on how to do so?

Thanks in advance!

Most of the time its done with plug-ins. PSP can use some of Adobe Photoshop plug ins...

I had a look at what PSP can do with the Adobe Photoshop plug-ins, but as soon as I want to do something, PSP crashes.
Even so... you gave me a useful piece of advice!
