Had a go with Painter 7 demo tonight. I found I still flipped back to Photoshop and soon go t bored and went back to good old ZB 
Good to flex the 2D digital wings a little though.
Southern,
this is one of your best works. The tongue is particularly excellent. I’ve dusted off the old paiter 6 recently and I’ve been trying to master the image hose. The mosaic funtion is pretty good too. It is a tricky program to get right but you’ve done an excellent job here.
well southern i must say you hit a nail with me… i love tigers… my favorite animal on earth is a white tiger… excellent job my friend…
very nice creation…I havea calico cat and she has this expression in the morning when I havent fed her yet or shared my breakfast with her…never tried Painter…looks great though…I know you had used paintshop pro for a while…Question Glen, I love the neon green picture tube in that program…makes the kewlest flares…do you have any or know of any place to get those picture tubes in like green, red or blue flares? thnx and keep up the outstanding work…
do you think she would mind if I traced her tiger till I learned how to properly render her lion…muhahhahahaha thnx EZ /me wipes the spittle from the corners of his drooling mouth hole 
Nice image. However in your hands all programs are OK. Are there any Graphics programs that you do not like at all ? If so which ones.
