Interesting idea for a TT. I’ve only heard of Audacity, Paint Shop Pro and the last item. I check the others out. I mainly stick to the basics: Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash, etc.

Huh? You lost me at the header! LOL!

Happy TT!

Neato! Sounds like you’re well-versed in a lot of really powerful, excellent software!

Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog!

Thomma Lyn on March 22nd, 2007 at 2:17 am

Whoa. You are one serious artist, and I’m impressed.

Happy TT!

Susan Helene Gottfried on March 22nd, 2007 at 2:35 am

LOL at chelle y. I was going to say…oh it’s like math, I don’t get most of it! I’ve used Paint Shop Pro, tho, and of course, pencil & paper

Really?? I’m surprised you wouldn’t go with Photoshop over PSP for that sort of work. Great list .

Hehehe, I have no idea about this stuff… but some great links! Thanks for sharing.

Were you always an artist before learning to use these programs? Do you use these for work or fun?

Neat list for 13.

JennyMcB on March 22nd, 2007 at 4:10 am

I’m embarrassed to admit that only #13 is familiar!

Wylie Kinson on March 22nd, 2007 at 4:41 am

hmmm
Looks like I have some learning to do.
You have added to my to-do list

jean on March 22nd, 2007 at 5:39 am

the only tool I used from this list is #13. Been using Photoshop and too lazy to learn new programs. Hahah

Wooosh, all over my head! LOL! I do recognize some of that stuff, but not many. Thanks for stopping by my TT.

PJ & Mama Duck: I’ve used Photoshop and while I can use it I’ve never really gotten on with it as much as I get on with PSP. When I bought PSP it was a lot cheaper than Photoshop as well which probably helped. Thats why I use Expression rather than Illustrator too and Serif Page Plus rather than Acrobat Writer. I did just get Photoshop Elements but I’ve not really had time to get into it.

JennyMcB: I wanted to be an architect which would have ment being a good artist. I never quite managed to get the results I wanted with traditional media. I always ended up with too many smudges on my work that spoilt the final results. With computers my finger prints only end up on the work if I put them there myself.

Susan: I’m not a serious artist just my way of getting over work at the end of the day. I have done a small number of pieces that have been used for magazines and fliers but I’m far too slow to make my living making art

Mark on March 22nd, 2007 at 2:17 pm

Impressive. I can barely figure out photoshop.

Amanda Young on March 22nd, 2007 at 3:28 pm

Sometimes I wish I knew a little more about the high-tech artsy stuff, but alas I don’t. Thanks for stopping by my 13.

Mercy's Maid on March 22nd, 2007 at 4:47 pm

Goodness. I admit I’m a little sad that paper and pencil are last on the list. I do understand though, I’ve never managed to create on paper what I could see in my head.

Sybil on March 22nd, 2007 at 5:27 pm

Man, that was the last thing I needed to see. I’m dying to learn how to do graphics and stuff. But the last thing I need is another addiction…uh, hobby.

Shiloh Walker on March 22nd, 2007 at 5:29 pm

#13 I can work with… just.

Kim Knox on March 22nd, 2007 at 8:34 pm

Oh, to be able to do that on the computer. I draw and oil paint, but I can’t get the hang of it on the computer.

Check out my TT.

Barbara on March 22nd, 2007 at 9:22 pm

I like to see what others use. I’m really basic with Adobe Photoshop 5. Love it and have with it.. don;t know enough about the others and too timid to try.

Robyn Mills on March 22nd, 2007 at 11:25 pm

Ouch! That made my brain hurt!

Happy TT…

Mandy, the other M would so understand this list better than I do. She’s the techno-guru out of the two of us.

Thanks for stopping by Raven!
