A big enthusiastic welcome to you, Gail, because obviously you have a lot to
offer this group. Your painting is beautiful. Those of us who know "the
other" Gail, and that's everybody!!! would be less confused if you would
join in as Gail 2. So, come on along and join the fun. This is a
grrrrrreat group of folks.

Welcome to the group, Gail2. Your painting looks beautiful,....maybe you
can tell us, what tools you used and how you accomplished this effect? By
sharing our different approaches, we all learn :-)

Welcome, Gail 2. Your paintings are very nice.

Thank you Christel. I had never attempted painting before so I followed a
tutorial I found explaining how to make marigolds. I started with a new
image 800x600 with a white raster background layer, then created another
raster layer. The tutorial used yellow and orange colors but I chose more
peach and soft orange shades. I experimented with the size and thickness
of the brush used for the flowers and did the same with the leaf brush. When
I finished with the painting, I created another layer to paste the flowers
on, I kept changing the background colors and textures until I found one I
liked. Then I experimented with many picture frames and or borders. The
first painting I sent has antique vignette as the picture frame and then I
added borders. The second painting has a picture frame only, transparent 01.
The tutorial can be found here,

You did very well, Gail and thank you for posting the steps. The tut was
created by one of our more illustrious members of this group, she is very
good at explaining things and very generous in sharing her talents. :-)

I mostly lurk, since I haven't been having time to do stuff with PSP
(using PSP9), but Gail 2 - you can be GailToo! Though going by your
lovely painting - wow; it's great! you could be GailLight and Gail 1
can be GailSmouilder, as somebody remarked (or something like that,

I really like your painting; good job!

Illustrious? Ohhhhh Kayyyy... Illustrative, perhaps :-)
You guys are making me blush. I'm just one of the crowd....
Lots of talented people around here.
Gail, if you found the marigolds, you probably found the daisies and
lilacs, too....Corel has a big chunk of my tutorials on their site, too.
(Though not much painting)
I've been toying with ideas for a pansies lesson, and one
on sunflowers, but I have to make some basic decisions
about the website before I launch a new tutorial
series....Folks sure liked those flowers, though....
Maybe I should "branch out" and do some trees (groan)

No more pink!
I am honestly truly just teasing you. I like rats.
OT anecdote that may be more in your 'scare' alley: a cat brought a
nice fat pigeon in today. I went to the neighbor a few houses down
who raises pigeons. It wasn't his, but he knew how to either care
for it to let its wing heal, or... to make a nice stew of it. I kept
smiling and thanking him for his help politely :-)

Thank you. I used the PSPX paint brush and the mouse. I'd like to try a
tablet. My son is in high school and a talented cartoonist. We almost got
one for him last year but didn't know enough about them to make a good
decision, maybe this year. Can you recommend one?

Only one readily available brand that makes sense--- Wacom-
Look for Graphire 3's to be on sale soon--- the Graphire 4 has either just
been released or will be very soon.....
I use an Intuos, but the lower-priced Graphire packs a lot of power for the
money. It's an excellent choice
for a student.
There is no real functional difference between most Graphire models-- the 3
is a little sturdier than the 2--
they replaced a flimsy plastic overlay with a harder plastic cover-- so you
might want to check Amazon
or ebay for a used one.... Just be sure the pen is included, and it has the
nibs--- the pen and nibs
purchased as accessories can cost as much as a new tablet.

I use relatively small tablets-- both the 6x8 Intous that is connected to my
desktop and the 4x5 Graphire that lives in my laptop case. I had a larger
one at one time
but traded it for a smaller one.
But the size is really more dependent on the user's artisitc style. A lot of
CAD folks and
actual pencil and papaer sketchers like bigger tablets. If you're used to
drawing with a mouse,
a small tablet may be all you need.
But I'm probably going to be looking for a new laptop accessory tablet
pretty soon-- My new laptop
is a widescreen Vaio, and the pad does not quite map to the shape of the
screen. I suspect
that someday soon Wacom will figure out that there is a need for a different
shape to the active area.
(Yes, folks, I know how to remap the active area, but it would be nice to
have one in
proportion to my actual screen) When that happens, I'll replace my graphire.
Other folks might argue the point, but top my mind, the Wacom mouse is a
waste of plastic. Once
you get used to using the pen, you'll probably never pick up the Wacom mouse
again.
PS I went to the Wacom site, the Graphire 4's **are** out.

Wacom offers academic pricing. Look into it at Academic Superstore or one of
the similar places.

Do you find there's a huge difference between what you can do with the
Graphire and the Intuos? Some people seem to think the Graphire is
just fine, others say you need the Intuos to really have control over
what you're doing. I keep avoiding a purchase because of this.

There are whole categories of things that can't be done with a Graphire
that can be done with an Intuos--- open up the Brush Variances dialog
and look at the commands with asterisks-- these can only be done with a
tablet and stylus. Of those, about half are only possible with an Intuos or
Cintiq, not a Graphire... BUT, having said that, it really depends on
your personal style. If you were taught to use a real pencil or a real
crayon or brush in a particular manner, the Intuos does a better job of
mimicking natural media techniques. It tilts, it angles.
OTOH, there's an awful lot you **can** do with a Graphire.
But for a mouse user, the hardest thing to get used to is the barrel
switch that replaces the right mouse button. Though I'm told
that the graphire 4 has a new pen....
Me? When I painting semi-seriously, I use the bigger tablet. But all the
doodles I've posted here-- and the poppy on the inside cover of the PSP9
box, among other things-- were done with a Graphire. And most of my
painting tutorials are done with the Graphire rather than the Intuos because
far
more PSP users have the less expensive hardware.

The cat was probably wondering why you weren't thrilled with the feast
he brought home for you to share with him ;-)!

It is, actually!
And it is especially nice because she took the next step and made the
technique her own to create something very different than the sample.
It means I must have gotten something right somewhere along the way.

I agree with JP: You don't need a really big tablet. Like her, I used to
have a large tablet - 9"x12" - but I found it too unwieldy. Now (also
like JP), I've got a 6"x8" Intuos on my desktop and a 4"x5" Graphire on
my laptop, and I'm very happy with that arrangement.

Welcome, Gail. That is one very nice image, especially if it's your
first attempt at painting.

Being new here, I'm curious. I wondered if you all are all involved in
graphics and or photography in a professional capacity, or if it's a hobby
for some or just the love of creating? I've only recently discovered PSP and
am hooked. I've had a digital camera (nothing fancy, very basic) for a
couple of years. I love taking photos and printing them and now of course
"fixing" them afterwards. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about PSP,
there are endless possibilites. It's by turns, so much fun and so
frustrating!
Thanks for advice on the tablets.

I do it as a hobby. Maybe some day I will make an effort to market some
of my stuff locally. The problem with that is that it's too much like
work :-)
I don't use a graphics tablet, just a mouse. Some of my freehand
(freemouse) digital paintings are here (shameless plug alert!):

I can and do make paid graphics, but only when asked and even then
only when I'm interested. It's not my job and I wouldn't want it to
be - not because I don't enjoy making graphics, but because I
reserve this part of my life for non-pressured creativity. Why not
make them for free, then? Well I used to, but found that people tend
to be more demanding and rude than when they have to pay :-)

I'm an instructional designer by profession, so charts, graphs, and
various types of narrative imagery are all big a part of what I do.
I create hundreds and hundreds of illustrated and annotated screen
shots every week, for classroom materials, e-learning and print projects.
(And book covers, internet/intranet/extranet, learning CD's and DVD's)
(And, sorry, folks, I do not use the screen capture utility in PSP for that
any more. I use specialized tools designed specifically for that purpose.)
Right now (**exactly** right now--- I'm writing this as a file is being
compiled)
I'm working on a multimedia project involving audio, video, Flash and HTML
that incorporates animated Excel spread sheets, screen shots from a
proprietary
application, interviews with subject matter experts, and original graphics.
In addition, I teach a number of classes in a wide range of software
applications,
some of which are graphics and web-related. I've taught Jasc, Corel, Adobe,
Macromedia and Microsoft applications, as well as more esoteric things like
Oracle/PeopleSoft, Crystal Reports, Cognos, and even some GIS stuff, along
with "train-the-trainer" sessions for all the instructor-led courseware we
design.
Oh, and I usually end up editing portraits of the corporate bigwigs to make
them
look "just mahvelous" in various types of materials.
But, that said, I rarely have occaision to paint dolphins or posies for
cash. :-)
I used to, once upon a time, and the odd workbook cover comes along as part
of a project....
I did paint some egrets for a project for a wildlife agency, and I'll do a
painting of the
State Capitol as a splash screen for the financials project I'm currently
working on,
but most of what I do is pretty utilitarian.
Hey, it's a living. :-)

With me, it's purely hobby. I've loved to take photos all my life -
also, to paint. Gave up painting because oil painting was my Thing,
but I couldn't take the fumes! Then for many years, haven't been able
to afford to take photos - till friends gave me a computer, and then a
digital camera! I don't have a working printer, so I just enjoy
putting my photos on the computer and looking at them. My only cost is
rechargeable battery power.
My camera's very simple. just point-and-shoot.
So finally, last year, I got PSP - it was version 8 at the time
(mid-March last year). The sweat to learn that, enough to do anything
with it, was huge! As big as anything I'd tackled before, and I'm not
a computer-person at all. So like you, I found it both fun and
frustrating. But I sort of got some of the basics gong, usually with
help from people here - then, though, it was the JASC forums.
Then this year, quite some time after it came out, I upgraded to PSP9,
where I'll probably stay, though PSPX looks interesting in its way,
but I don't have money to upgrade, and it doesn't matter. Hey, my
animals come first! (see my web site, in my signature).
Here's what I really noticed when I first started using PSP. I'd been
looking for a photo editor to do basic simple improvements, and the
reviews (PC Magazine, I think) suggested PSP was right for me, though
I had to stretch like mad to buy it.
Well, when I got it, I felt as though my youth had been given back to
me; I hadn't played with paint-stuff for over 40 years - and I'd
missed it so badly! And then the photo-editing - well, I don't
understand lots of it very well, and that's partly why I'm here,
though as much for fun as any other reason!
So I'm learning a lot here, too, though I don't have time right now
really to work at it.
But the tutorials people are posting - Spandex Rutabaga (how I love
that name!) and JP - well, I'm reading them. And saving them. I can't
really follow, and most are for PSPX, but lots will apply also for
PSP9, at least partly. And playing with this stuff continues to
engross me completely! I really love it, even though I'm very bad at
it still.
Then a year ago last summer, one of my dogs, Kumbi, tore his cruciate
ligament to bits, and needed knee surgery
http://www.coherentdog.org/z0galry01.htm
I wanted to post photos on the web, to thank the people who helped,
but the free sites mangled my photos, and also deluged us with ads, so
DogDaddy George said, "Why not make your own web site.?"
Yeah, riiight! (And learning to make any sort of web site was about
ten times as hard as learning PSP, but at least I had learned enough
with PSP so I could use that knowledge for my web site)!
Then, would you believe it, almost a year later, my OTHER dog tore HER
knee to bits, and SHE required surgery, and again my friends came
through.
This time, I did post photos on my site
http://www.coherentdog.org/zgalryrot02.htm
too many! But I decided not to put special effort into editing these,
because I'm limited in my web space, and will need to rotate photos in
and out, and also, Kwali is in many ways more difficult to restrict
(for healing) than Kumbi is, so I had to be attending to her
constantly, and couldn't afford to get engrossed in the photo-editing!
So those photos could mostly use improvement, but at least they tell a
story, and I went pretty hog-wild in the numbers I put up.
There's so much work I need to put in on my site to make it really as
I want it (for instance, don't try printing any pages; you could run
into real difficulty, especially with Internet Explorer) - that that's
where I'll put my next big effort, maybe in winter; I won't have time
till then, when Kwali is better healed, and not so restricted.
But all the same, being able to play with anything with PSP (now for
me, version 9) is a real blast - I totally love it!
All hobby (as is my web site).

I dabble in graphics and usually make the stuff I use in layout pages
of my grandchildren etc.
My main projects are photography and photographs, editing digital,
scanning film, and printing. I archive all photos at highest
resolution for future use whatever that may be.
Most of all, I have fun!

Don't be too impressed... it's just my job. Lots of people have more
important jobs---including the guy who keeps the coffee machine in the
design team "war room" serviced. :-) I'm just basically a technical writer
with educational credentials. Most of what I do isn't very sexy at all. But
ID is the perfect fit for me-- technical and creative, verbal and visual,
right-brained and left-brained.
And the time thing? It's feast or famine... for nearly a year I was gone
from usenet completely because I had zero time to even breathe.
Right now, I'm not teaching, just writing, but that will change again in a
few weeks...so this week I have a little slush time, because the project I
am working on requires executables be compiled for inclusion into a larger
system. So I scurry around writing and illustrating and editing video for a
couple of hours and then about 5 times a day, I kick off the compilation
utility and monitor the process-- and amuse myself on my laptop here or in
other newsgroups while it "cooks" the files on my office desktop.

You'll find that there are no fences for keeping testy testers from
testifying testily wherever they want. Just ignore what doesn't add
to your experience. You are in charge of you and nobody else can set
your agenda.

Strictly a hobby for me. I have to work for a living. It is an
enjoyable activity that allows me to develop my creative talents,
which are good but not remarkable. It also allows me to wow the boss,
impress my wife and kids, and make my brother jealous.
My other passion is composing music, which you can hear samples of on
my web page. I've been playing music for a little more than 50 years
