[Rumour]

I have heard some good things about this program on a newsgroup I subscribe to. They don't often rave about such things, so I thought here would be a good place to share it :D :blahblah:

I just downloaded this. ANything new is always worth a try :) Will fiddle with it and see how it goes :)

I did some fiddling around in it over the last few days. Honestly from my thoughts, while it might add to those who enjoy doing texturing on their art, (sketches) I didn't like the overall effect on the pictures I attempted to use it in.

this after trying various settings to lower the 3d look of the paint. I know someone with more patience than I will more than likely find it a useful tool for their artwork, it's just not me... but hey, I'm old and stuck in my ways so to speak... lol... :lachen001

I think it a very good paint program made even better with the uses of photoshop plug-ins . Give it a try . :shooting:

I've seen some of the works done by folks using it and it's awesome. Gotta understand this one (me) is old andsort of set in her ways. I use PSP and have mastered that (use it in tons of my art) but somehow this one deep paint just didn't hit it for me. Same with 3d rendering programs. Or programs such as Vue or Terragen. Some are easier for me to understand.

I'm so old school I have to keep it simple or I get lost... :) And then they have to send in the marines to find me.... :) :lachen001

I have also dabbled with both Deep Paint and Painter IX and so far got nowhere! I am also a PSP user of old, and am "over the hill myself", so maybe these other proggies are easier for those people who weren't brought up with PSP. I've heard mainly the Adobe users say they like it, and think that's partly because they are in the "same language".

I have also seen some WONDERFUL work done inside Painter IX, 'though I don't recall seeing any done in Deep Paint...

I think I'll stay with psp, we had tried this one before also and just didn't do it least not for what I use them for. Thanks for the link and sharing it but for stationery and other projects I just stay with psp ,but i'm sure it will really be an advantage for someone that has no program like this.. :)
