Hey
Felix, where could i download Abacus FS Repaint? It sounds gr8. So, when your repainting, does it show a model of the plane with the textures?

Now if something goes without saying, then why do people say it??&&&&

Hey
Are there any freeware editors like FS Repaint, cos i'm not paying $30 for FSRepaint. And the trial version doesn't let you save.
Things are expensive these days ay
cheers

I'm sorry but I can't agree. I can get by with most utilities & programs but to this day I never figured out M$ Paint. It must be one of the most useless graphics programs out there & I've tried some in my time.
The only thing I can say in its favour is that it can be used to give you the general idea.
Hear hear. Absolutely dead right Doug. Useful for childish daubings (let your grandchildren play with it on your old PC) but absolutely useless for any practical purpose whatsoever. Let alone a demanding job like repainting.
If you're interested in
learning
to paint - be warned, it's not just a 'pick it up in 5 minutes job' if you want to do it properly with layers, alpha channels for transparency and reflections, different types of extended bmps and so on - get hold of Pixia if you can't afford or don't want to buy PaintShop Pro or Photoshop. And if you become a bit more serious you'll need more. I also use CorelDraw for creating textures and I like Corel Photo-Paint for it's ability to create night texture lighting effects. Both of these are old versions though and didn't cost a fortune.

No. The freeware route is DXTBMP and your paint editor.

I beg to differ. I created this in paint, it took me a few days, but I dont have anything else to do at work.
PS it looks like crap after resizing, and converting to JPG.

ok, so you can use paint for simple designs. but suppose you need fading colours, or blurring, or a transparent layer.....

you can do fading colors, but its a B-word, as for transparent layer, you got me there. the fact is paint wasnt designed for repainting aircraft, I was only arguing its worth as a graphics program. that is just a pic, not a repaint of an FS plane... and posting out of sheer boredome...

lol
i reckon photoshop and psp are the best, i only use photoshop cos i found a tutorial that teaches you, lol
I have both, and to be honest, i thik photoshop is a better program, but perhaps psp is easier to use.
thats only my opinion and i havn't really mastered painting yet lol
Now if something goes without saying, then why do people say it??&&&&

I find PSP much easier to use, but that could just be because i've been using it so long. 8)

I should point out that I qualified my opinion.

This is all a matter of preference. It depends what you have & find easiest for you. What suits me might not be ideal for anyone else. If you're happy with M$ Paint by all means use it. I've seen remarkable things done with it in the past but I never figured it out & wouldn't recommend it.

I've never used Photoshop but PSP7 has several Paste options.
It's quite possible that Photoshop has something similar. As you have both you can do this in PSP.

Hmmmm..I see.
I didn't use Paint for this..
or this..
Please believe that I'm not trying to brag or get one over anyone but someone just starting has asked a serious question and needs a proper answer.
Which is that Paint CANNOT be used for serious painting. If you want to do the job right you must get the right tools. And one of them IS NOT MS PAINT ???
