[RESOLVED] Image/Picture Software

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. :confused:

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! :)
