Thanks.. will do more later... still setting up my new computer. Old one kicked the bucket and took lots of software with it (Photoshop, Painter, etc.) Lesson learned, backup your software to a cd, not an attached drive... and get the cd when you buy it, don't download the files

What is the problem with the attached drive? USB drives are more reliable than CDs these days. If you have several drives in a computer the death of one doesn't make the other ones impossible to read.

Now, the big proprietary applications are all going to a rental model, making FOSS software all the more palatable.

The only thing I could figure on that drive is that it was cooked by some virus - I got an external shell that you slip a drive into then it reads through usb connection. Another drive reads fine but that one gives a "corrupted" flag, and is totally unreadable. I may try formatting it, but not sure that would work. Anyway I grew tired of kicking a dead horse, so I went to Gimp, and looking at other freeware like it so I can move ahead and perhaps later acquire a program that, as you say, isn't for rent (a terrible idea, I suspect cooked up by Adobe) but can be purchased.

On the subject of other software (I think is licensed as Gimp is) called SAI ??

Some illustration I've done using various software (I only recently started using Gimp)
