Paint is getting on my nerves... Seriously.  Note: That doesn't require buying it, or illegally downloading it. I just want a decent coloring program. |

GIMP. www.gimp.org/ works wonders I'm told. I'd suggest Photoshop... but not everyone can afford it... |

One of my elementary friends had Photoshop. I asked my dad to buy it for me and we looked in the stores, and it was like $700+ and we were like, "No way are we buying a coloring program for ___!"
(tries GIMP)

Oh! You can also consider a Tablet/Photoshop pack. Or Photoshop Elements for around $200, but it lacks some big parts...

A tablet?
Anyway, I also have something called Pixia. Is that of any use?

A Tablet is like a notepad that you hook up to your computer and use to draw. it's like - mouse in the form of a pen!
And I haven't heard about Pixia... but it's worth a try ^_^

I usually use the GIMP. It's not the best, but for the price (zip, zero, nada, zilch!) you can't go wrong. My works don't always turn out the way I want them to, but fault is my own by not being able to draw worth a tush in the first place.

I've tried the "Elements" version of photoshop, and found it lacking.
FWIW, I use Paint Shop Pro 8 (which I ordered by mistake with my computer, but I've learned to like it.)

Actually Captain Argus, I tend to Agree Paint Shop Pro is one of the better paint programs I use..(I tend to use both version 7 (for Line Art) and 9 (For Coloring) as both programs are very well. Of course now if you are looking for Paint Shop Pro, Corel has taken over JASC and in fact they now have it called , Paint Shop Pro® Photo XI and it's price is very reasonable.. Under 100 bucks.. Not bad for a program that is very helpful and you can do a lot with it now (Paint Shop Pro 5 is what I started with and I've come to like 7 and 9 for their own virtual strengths..) You can find the info on it here: www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1155872554948Tucsoncoyote-- |
