[Art] All Buttered Up Again
Feb 15, 2008, 6:13:33 PM UTC on [Art] All Buttered Up Again
I know, I've got some weird program that came with my tablet that I've tried to use but it's just as hard as photoshop. I need to find something user-friendly.

    Weird. I've never had issues with any of my scanners- even the evil hand held one....

      its not the scanner- I now have a healthy artist-scanner relationship with mine. I just have no skill with computer programs and editing my art. I'd love to learn how to color my lineart on the computer, but I'm not that good with those types of programs.

        You use paint right? There's no relationship there hon. Score a copy of Photoshop, or try googling GIMP. That's like photoshop and its free. I can't tell you how to use it, but Paint is full of suck and woe. My picture viewing programs are more powerfull than paint

          actually I don't use anything on the computer. i just use paint to change file types. with this one I needed to darken the sketch so I tried this one time editing thing. the original sketches are much better I assure you, they're just too light for pd. *sigh* i kinda hate computer editing programs. the eat my art.

            If you use something better than gimp, you can tinker with levels which darkens your black and greys seperatly. Also, if you have a good program, you can scan big, and shrink to a smooth look. You can't do that with paint cause paint doesn't do a gradual reduction. It's all on a 1 or the other basis. Look into Gimp. Seriously Smile

                  I didn't get it yet. I've been trying desperately to get my pictures to print. GAH! Curse you Kodak!
