Because I am a masochist, I’m going to play with the trial version of Painter 11, knowing that it’ll expire and even though I really really want it… I can’t spend $400 on non-essential software when I own Painter Essentials 3 and it covers my needs just fine. (Essentials 4 sucks – they took a very good program and turned it into a mockery of itself.)

New Photoshop coming in the fall
CS Next. If I were a 3-d artist, I might be more excited. CS2 is still doing fine for me at home.
A $500 Cintiq?
Possibly of interest only to myself, but damn…. I wonder if I can find an actual product review.

Aw frack
When it comes to graphics apps, Painter has always come in a distant second to Photoshop for me, but now that I’m doing more line art and coloring (as opposed to photomanipulation) I’m finding myself…. constrained by my beloved PS. I’m dicking around with Painter Essentials 3 (came free with my tablet) and damn but it’s fun. Freeing.
I’m not ditching PS by any stretch of the imagination, but another tool in the chest is not a bad thing. :) results of today’s fun will be up soon.
Not quite a month's salary, but….
It’s coming ’round to that near yearly occurance known as Photoshop Upgrade Time.
