Upgrade to the Future
For the last month or two I’ve been dying to upgrade my computer program for digital art. Right now I’m using Photoshop CS for my digital coloring and it’s all I have. While I can do some nice work I still feel limited and restricted by the program. For one it’s primarily supposed to be used for photo editing and I’m trying to use it for more artistic purposes.
I’ve been looking strongly towards Painter 11 but also at Photoshop CS4, since it’s been retooled to work a little more on the art side. Still I think Painter 11 is the way to go so I can do more natural media type work. The only thing holding me back right now is price... phew 400 bucks! Not as bad as CS4’s 600....
I also wonder if my equipment will hold up. I plan on installing on my MacBook Pro, but am unsure if it’ll be powerful enough. Second my wacom table is pretty old, it’s a Intuos 2, I think. Still better then nothing and I really think it’d work just fine for want I want.
Hopefully I’ll be able to upgrade in a few months time because I’m really dying to work on the computer to create art.
