Thanks Markus: They're a little different than traditional photography.
I think Painter can be a lot of fun. I use the cloning tool (soft
cloner) to extract the animal from it's background and then work on it
from there with some painterly techniques. When it comes to photography
my number one program is photoshop, but Painter is certainly number
two. I have illustrator but rarely if ever use it....

Hi Vic
I had the pleasure to have a look at your paintings and some other of
your
sides too.
You present some very good photos here, my compliments.
On the other side you have some really nice Pentax equipment which
helps a
lot ;-)
greetings

I love Painter and have used it for a few years. It's a spectacular
program in the hands of a true fine artist but it is also incredibly
good for us photographers who are looking to take their photographs
to
a more creative level... (I too got an updated copy when I bought a
new
WACOM tablet which I highly recommend.
I have a number of animal portraits which I have done by using a
combination of photoshop and Painter (mostly painter)
If anyone would like to see them they are here. Just click on the
thumbnails for full-size images...
Thanks Vic
