I'm pretty sure MSPaint wasn't made for tablets, and I'm too cheap to buy Photoshop, so is there any programs that are tablet-friendly? I want to be able to draw things like axeraider and princessa did (not the pixel things) but MSPaint doesn't allow that kind of stuff. Really don't care about the price, just so long as it has a 30+ day trial or so. :|

Well, with MsPaint you can create unique kinds of art, not the same as you would with another program, since with MsPaint it tends to look pixaly since it's hard to make shades. A lot of it has outlines unless you make it really detailed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, i used Photoshop, but i've heard of some Coral thing, there's gimp, sorta like a downgraded photoshop, and i'm pretty sure you can download an old version of photoshop somewhere. There was another...something like Paint something. Anyways, i'm sure you can find something out there for free or cheap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT- Ohhh, trials. Well, speaking of that, you can go to http://www.download.com and search, they usually have a bunch of different trials there.

I have Corel Painter Essentials 2, but me hates it and it hates me.. :cry:

Hm, have you tried Paint Pro or whatever it's called? I heard that's pretty good. And if you go the download site, you can probably find trials for photoshop.

You mean Paintshop Pro? No, I've never tried that, I'll check if they have a trial version.

PSP is THE BEST alternative to Photoshop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know alot of people who use it and they are at the same level with Photoshop when it comes to drawing/painting/whatever else you can think of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try looking up Corel Draw and Corel Painter too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While you're at it, try Macromedia Flash or Illustrator. :

And how much does PSP 7 go for?

Probaly around $50. I think they are up to PSP 10 now, generaly the new ones go for like $70. :wink:

You can get early versions of photshop for pennies on eBay. Photoshop 7 is the best bet, with 6 as a back up which is also great incase you cant get 7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously if you don't want to spend money, the gimp is easily the best option.

Im a GIMP user myself.. You can get the trial version of the latest Photoshop off there website or off download.com . If the 30 days arent enough for you pm me ;).

if you dont want to spend the money on photoshop i would say paintshop pro is your best option

i would say you best bet is the gimp, or somting calles gimpshop its basicly the gimp with a photoshop like interface[/i]

I've been trying to download gimp, but for some odd reason, my computer won't let it run, says I have to download something else, but won't let me. :? I'll try it again, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, I already used up my 30 day trial of Photoshop, #-o so that's out of the question. :/

 

 

 

About this Paintshop Pro thing, is there a way to get a 30 day trial of it? (I'm guessing http://www.download.com :-$ ) I may be able to spend up to $70, but not $600 lol..

Is a good place to start.

Alright, I've downloaded The Gimp, so I'll finally be able to see if it lives up to its hype. Hope so, though, tightwads FTW. :wink:

if you need any help with gimp, feel free to post here or pm me. i have been using gimp for a while and im decent at using it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw, i think gimp is your best bet with digipaintings.

For some reason, The Gimp recognizes my tablet and automatically sets is to be in porportion to the screen. How do you make it to where it doesn't do this? It has the mouse pointer and tablet pointer in different places and causes a lot of messing-ups..

dont use gimp, use paint.net its far simpler and can be downnloaded here

err.. your going to have to elaborate a bit... my tablett had automaticly set to the preporton to the screen as soon as i had gotten it...

My tablet was automatically set to that as well, but I didn't like it, so I changed it to "mouse mode" where it wouldn't do that. When I tried out Gimp, it changed it back to "pen mode," but only for the program. :? Very weird..

try switching to tablett mode, then switching back, and see if it makes a difference.

No, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the program, not my tablet settings. Do you know how to access the preferences of Gimp?

i should say u shoudl buy paintshop pro 11 the newest version. It can do the same as photoshop with tablets and some say its much better to work with then photoshop or annything else :wink:
