The Bryce that I have is 6.3. I don't have it installed yet. This is a relatively new computer, and I didn't need Bryce after I got it, so I never got to installing it. Is 6.3 the broken one? Do I need to find a 5.5 somewhere?

I'm not very comfortable painting in PS or Gimp and I know very little about noise filters, but I do know my way around those programs. If your tutorial mentions what you did in one of them, chances are I'll know how to replicate it in the other. :)
