   Tell me more about Dogwaffle, please?

Dogwaffle, aka 'Project Dogwaffle', is a paint and animation program for PC.

See here in general:

http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle

There are a bunch of reviews there too, and even a freeware version (which may have that 'dynamic range' thing in the Image menu, if I recall. It was called the 'Buffer' menu then (as in image buffer).

There are also several versions to choose from on the commercial versions, such as PD Pro 3.5, v4 (the latest, at http://www.thebest3d.com/pdpro ) and PD Particles (http://www.thebest3d.com/pdp) which doesn't have that dynamic range feature because we position PD Particles as a companion to whatever else you're using, i.e. it's meant for painting ith natural media brushes and particle brushes, and also focuses a little on painting and handling the Alpha channel, but the rest is left to the others, like layers, filters, animations...

oh and there's also a lite version of PD Pro based on around 3.5, called PD Artist - http://www.thebest3d.com/pda

Feel free to ask me or ping me outside of this if you have further questions on Dogwaffle. Unfortunately there's no forum at rosity dedicated to it. There's one at yahoogroups.com/group/dogwaffle and a few other places but the yahoo one is the main place.

PS: PD Pro is on sale this month.

PPS: in the current issue of PC Pro magazine there should be a review of PD in Tom Arah's column. I don't know which page though and which exact isue, Febr or March. I think March.
