I almost forgot my blog!

I have been busy with work, got really into some games recently, and my muse left me for awhile. While Paint.Net has continued to evolve,updated itself, etc., I have failed to come up with much. I entered a contest in the Paint.Net forum. I tried another great photo editing program, called Artweaver. It allows one to use Photoshop brushes, and do some of the effects there. So, I may be using both until Paint.Net implements brushes. I have recently downloaded two additional programs, XNView and ACDSEE 10. XNView is great if you wish to quickly go through your photos and fix red eye. I ended up buying ACDSEE because it can do that as well as clone and heal. Also, I love that it can be integrated into my favorite photo printing software, HP photo image software. I use this to create album sheets with captions below each image. This came with the camera I bought in 2002!

Here is the lame picture I entered into the competion


Here is an image created in Artweaver
