Software Reviews by statajack

This is a great programme for novice artists who do not as yet have the courage to waste alot of expensive canvas and paint for "real" painting. It's also good for keeping ideas which you might wish to develop in the future. As far as understanding the basics principles of painting, for a beginner, I have found that the software's strength is in the multiple layering function, and the ability to individually edit each layer for a wide selection of parameters. Layers can be relocated to sit under or over the other layers above and below, and a masking facility is very useful. The programme has frozen on me a few times, which has simply forced me to do more regular backups. No problem. It takes a while to learn how to operate some of the more elaborate functions, but it's worth it once mastered. I would definitely recommend this programme. Price: Free
