1. How do I register gmax/Why isn't gmax registering?
Make absolutely sure that the email address and other registration info is spelled correctly. I work for a company that, among other things, does order fulfillment and the number one reason that people's registrations don't go through is misentry of information. You'd be surprised how many people send in registration forms (and order forms!) with typos.
Oh, and you're probably better off just trying to register gmax 1.2... it's the latest version, and there's a chance that trying to register multiple copies of different versions might get kicked out.
2. Do I need Photoshop AND paintshop?
No, either one will do.
3. What is the difference netween these?
Paintshop Pro is more affordable and will do all of what the typical home user or amateur webmaster will need. If you want to bat in the big leagues, however, Photoshop is probably the better choice as it has more advanced editing and composition tools.
Speaking only for myself, I use Paintshop Pro 7 for gmax, my web sites, and for my digital photography and find it's very handy.
4. Is there any free trial for either of those?
Yes, or at least there were when I last checked. See http://www.jasc.com for Paintshop Pro and http://www.adobe.com for Photoshop.
So, I need CHIMP also? You sure do need a lot of programs. . .
CHIMP is a plugin for gmax... it's not a separate program. You can just throw it into the gmax scripts folder and use it like it was part of gmax from the start.
