Re: What Graphic Apps do you use?

anyone tried MyPaint for a Painter/Wacom replacement?

I like using MyPaint with my Wacom Graphire3 tablet every once in a while in a futile attempt to improve my computer sketching skills. While not perfect, the brush handling seems much better to me than in the Gimp.

btw - It's so frustrating to me that if you choose a large brush size in the Gimp - say for doing dodge and burn, or adding a vignette layer to a photo - the lag makes it almost completely unusable. Grrr.

My daughter seems to gravitate toward MyPaint now and again as a sort of step up from something like TuxPaint.

I'm trying to justify it to myself to get a larger tablet, but my sketching skills don't yet convince me. Case in point:

LOL

Re: What Graphic Apps do you use?

I haven't used MyPaint but Fab was talking about it on a recent Linux Outlaws. From what it sounds, it is quite good. Also, from what I've heard, they used the program some during the making of the Sintel movie.

Being a big GIMP fan.. I recently uncovered this.  Looks like a decent little painting solution.  GIMP Paint Studio

Re: What Graphic Apps do you use?

If any of yall like to shoot in RAW, you might wanna take a look at darktable.  I've been using it for a few days now and it's a really cool project.  It can be installed on statler if you use the backports repository, and it's in waldorf via the main wheezy repo.

I'm still not sure about Darktable. It's very powerful but still has a long way to go to get anywhere near Lightroom.
