So I have and old version of corel painter essentials. It's been a bit buggy(the jpg files is saves are extremely stretched out), and it lakes some features id like (no palette or psd support) but like the painting effects it creates.

I wanted to try the trial of the latest version, but there seemed to be an issue with it where the brushes panel didn't show up. A proposed work around online suggested runnig the program n the rosetta PowerPC emulator. I tried that, but it just corrupted the program, and prompted me to reinstall. So I did. Now when I try use the program it says my trial time has expire. Since when does 60 days equal 30 minutes?

Frustrated, I tried going back to my old version to see if it was really as bad I thought.

Which brings me to another problem: my rosetta emulated programs have a habit of randomly logging off of my computer. Since my old version of corel painter essentials is PowerPc only, I had to run it in rosetta. And it randomly logged me off... rendering basically useless unless I save after every mark I make.. and saving itself could cause me to randomly log off... so it's basically useless.



Bah!

So I have 5 pieces of schoolwork up in BU's 808 Commonwealth Avenue Gallery for the BU Undergraduate Showcase.

I had fun listening in on some peoples' comments today at the SVA welcome back party that was held in the gallery today.
