Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 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. :| do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryoushinn Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryoushinn Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 You mean Paintshop Pro? No, I've never tried that, I'll check if they have a trial version. do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 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. : The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

pryomancer Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 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.

Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 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.. do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 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: do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 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.. do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroi_Ame Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 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.. do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckered Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 try switching to tablett mode, then switching back, and see if it makes a difference. wop wop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi_Ame Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 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? do u wow?Cassiius|Level 70 Night Elf Preist|RunetotemSambora|Level 37 Tauren Shaman|BurningLegion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
