I tend to like the Paint Shop Pro series, my favorite being version 7. Nice user interface and many different options, once you learn to use layers.

For a good painting tutorial, check my signature.

I use PSP7 myself but unless you can find a full early version on a cover disc it isn't free. The free trial PSP8 has a time limit & if you like it you will be fixed when it expires. You might like to try Pixia http://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/ or PhotoPlus 5.5. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/serif/ph/ph5/index.asp

Both are full free image editing software with all the advanced features ideal for repainting textures. The Photoplus user interface & tool options are similar to PSP.

yeah pixia is prob one of the best freeware paint programs out.

the reason your picture did not show up is because tripod do not support linking to their images...try uploading the image to this site via the forum upload page and try that way..

hope this helps

I don't think so, but have a look on Pixia's homepage, there are some links to various sites, maybe there is something on one of them

I posted a basic tute for FS98. By the time part 2 was ready FS2000 had been released so I removed it. Sorry.

I really don't see the point. By the time you find out how to use it the free trial will expire. It might be better to try PhotoPlus 5.5. The interface & tools are very similar to PSP. Alternatively, persevere with Pixia. It's bound to take a while to find out all the little wrinkles. There is a lot to learn & it's not a 5 minute job. You can have the best graphics editing software money can buy but it's no good unless you know how to use it & have a certain amount of artistic talent. I'm sadly lacking in that department myself & will never make a repainter.

Visit Pixia's website, they have a lot of stuff there that is not on other sites, like plugins and filters. Also visit the forum, there are lots of links to user websites designed by the members there 8)
