If you want an advanced imaging application but can't afford (or don't want to 'find' Photoshop), then you should look at a program called, unfortunately, The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/). It's entirely free, cross platform and very powerful. The question isn't so much about what it can do, rather than how much time you want to put into it. There's definately no reason to be using tools like Paint if you're really wanting something with more power.

Alternatively, I still like using Paint Shop Pro 7, since I know and like the interface and find it far more intuiative. It might not have all the features of the current products, but, for me, it still delivers the goods.

The water effect in the image posted above was done, I think, with a third party plug-in called Flood (http://photoshop.pluginsworld.com/plugin.php?directory=adobe&software=photoshop&plugin=201).
However, you don't need Photoshop to be able to use plug-ins like this - PaintShopPro, which is much cheaper, can certainly handle them too.

GIMP is awsome.

My two cents

Another alternative to photoshop is photoshop elements, it's a heck of a lot cheaper (£50 i think) but still has a lot of the good features photoshop has

this picture was taken on the weddingday of the sister of my girlfriend (that's why we are so beautifully dressed

), and I brought my diabolo's (offcourse), so in a spare minute I was diaboloing a bit, and my girl watched me. I liked the composition of the picture, it has something to it. I don't know, but I just liked to post it here.

Nice pic Frank, look a bit like a scene from a soap or something.

Just thought I'd point out that Butterfingers is running a competition to find a new cover for their colour catalogue. Winners will have their names featured on the front of the catalogue and also win £150 of whatever equipment they choose from Butterfingers. All the details are on their site.

Wouldn't it be lovely to have something diabolo related on the cover?

Bump because the deadline draws near.
Ginger Tom is 'too busy' so that leaves the way open for lesser dilatantes

The middle one (with the diabolo in a circle) is a good'n. Dunno about the rest of em tho $:-\$ . Still good job for trying

matthewthegreat · « **Reply #216 on:** November 06, 2006, 03:28:33 PM »

That's really cool, it somehow reminds of me Alex Grey's "Net of Being" painting.
