007 Sandy Fun

I finally got tired of photoshop messing up on me. Not only does it take freaking forever to load but the pen pressure is a touch and go process so I went back to PaintShop pro x9. I lost the all capital text but that's a small price to pay for the ultimate customizable interface.
The reason I said back to is way back in 2008 I used it when I started Insanity of Xade, but ironically, if memory serves, I was having pen pressure issues and I liked the layer effects of photoshop. Anyway, after watching a crash course on PSP, I quickly settled in, figured out how to do my text balloons/borders, set up a few brushes for the lines and actual drawing and went to town. Along the way, I customized the keyboard layout to somewhat mimic photoshop, the wand tool for example and added a couple of my own. To streamline my process, I added a toolbar of my most used commands under the tools on the left as I wrapped up the comic, and a second one of my often used or probably will use beside the standard on top.
I still kept and upgraded my copy of PSP when I could because of various tools like the change to target and the ever-popular picture tubes, often making my own for random effects. Anyhow, it's late so I'm off

Enjoying Zeep's journey here! So annoyed by those rude Nerts! I love that ticked off little expression in the last panel. Yeah stick it to photoshop, if not for the few useful things it still does I'd fully drop it as well. Text seems like a big thing that too many graphics programs treat as an afterthought, particularly galling when they're specifically targeting comic makers!

I hear you Zeep, being forced to grow (up) is no fun when you just want to play :)

Growing up has nothing to do with growing bigger, usually.
