Thanks for this Judith, If you have any questions about their programs.. here are some that are freeware. I think these are earlier verions of some listed in your email. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/products.asp There is Photo Plus 5.5 Page Plus 5 Web Plus 6 Draw Plus 4 and 3D Designs. (I am really interested in this one personally) Although I use PSP 7 & 8 (ok... I need to cut the cord and bite the bullet and just use PSP 8) I stll look at other graphics programs. I also have Photshop Elements 2 and 20/20(a freebie - http://www.hotfreeware.com/ I use this to make seamless tiles and muted seamless tiles fast!) and Microsoft Digital Image Pro and Photosuite.. and probably others I am not even thinking of...lol! Guess I am an easy sale...lol! I must admit, I am cheap though.. everyone of these was purchased at the lowest price I have seen so far. Whew! I would cry if I paid too much!..........lol! Hope this helps....

I hope it won't irritate any of you. I just want to be of help. Serif Software called me again and when I mentioned I was a moderator of a list with approximately 200 artists on it -- they offered a great deal. You can get 7 of their programs (CDs and manuals for all) for $100. One of their programs is, I believe, almost this price on their site. Now I love their programs -- especially their manuals. I used to write technical manuals and these are excellent. Very easy to understand and learn their programs :-) Anyway, the 7 programs are: Page Plus 9 Photo Plus 9 Draw Plus 7 Impact Plus (their 3D program now) Media Plus Movie Plus DVD Plus All you have to do to get the $100 price for above is call: 1-800-557-3743 Ext. 115 and speak with Deborah. She is there from 12 to 8PM EST - Monday thru Thursday. You will have to give her my name: Judith Tramayne-Barth So if you are thinking about digital art -- this is a very good way to start you on your path for minimal expenditure. Hope some of you will take advantage of this because I AM having such a great time creating digital art! I started out with the Serif programs then went to PSP 8. It was an easy transition to make once I understood how the programs worked.
