| I'm in desperate need of finding a good non-pixel art program. I can't afford photoshop, and I would have nothing left if I bought painter. I have tried activating photoshop with a serial from the web, but I can't get it to work, and as soon as I just touched the subject of getting serial from the web my topic on www.conceptart.org closed the topic... I've got half a photoshop trial left, and no idea what to do after that xD |

http://www.gimp.org/ - GIMP is free. I hear it's very similar to Photoshop. |

| Oh, sorry, forgot to say this; I have GIMP, but my idiotic tablet doesn't work in it... |

| That's very very strange, a tablet works just like a mouse. Does your tablet have problems with other software too? |

GTK+ + Bamboo = fubar. Until the GTK+ and Bamboo thing is fixed I'm using http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version - Artweaver for my painting. -------------

Its very stupid that tablets wont work with everything. I stopped using MTpaint when I figured my tablet did not work on it. As metaru said, paint.net is a great free program. ------------- |

So, paint.net is actually a non-pixel program? Sorta like GIMP or what? I thought it was mostly pixelart xD |

| Sorry for double post, but paint.net ain't that good. I see no way to shade, actually. It has no airbrush, and no smudge tool... |
