Dewo: Well Ok, I understand what your saying it kinda works diferant than most other Paint based programs. But you have to remember that it was never suposed to be a photo editing program, insted it was suposted to be a "Digital Painting" program. I first started with Fractal design Skecher in the hay day of the 486's and that was an incredible program... Really it was. It broke ground that no others could at te time. Then Fractal designs released "painter" (which is now a Corel product and I think it's up to R6) and again it broke new ground and made Photoshop 2 look like garbage. I fell in love and really learned the intricasies. I still use and prifer, painter 5 and Painter 3d over Photoshop 6, because it really has an astounding level of versitility, it just takes quite a bit of playing to master it, but once you do It becomes an incredible tool. The ability to paint right on to 3D models is also somthing that it really excells in. I know other programs do the same, but in my expiriance not to the level of Painter 3D. I really recomend that you try it again... I think you may be surprised as to how good it can be if you really try to explore it's capabilities. Despite how bad the manual is, it still offers alot that many of the best other programs Don't have the capabilities for. Just look at my work and I think you'll see. Alot of the textures are indebted to that really under rated little program. -Gabe-
