Posted by admin in Google tablet Thursday, 3 June 2010 23:11 2 Comments
I recently started looking into Digital art and would like to start but have no real Idea what programs would be best to start off with!..
I have looked up a few popular programs and would like to know which one would be easier to start with:
1. Corel Painter X
2. Photoshop cs3
Or what would you prefer to start with?
_________________________________
Are the Features in Photoshop workable in the long run?
There are alot of versions out there which one would you suggust?
If I went with Photoshop what would be the advantages over Corel? or visa versa?

Yes I am getting a Tablet pad and I do my sketches the old fashion way and My Art Style will be Freestyle and mostly Fantasy (fairys, dragons, goblins, etc) if that narrows things down a bit 
I did search all over Yahoo, Google and a few well known Art websites but having trouble just getting a simple answer for where to start!
Should i Trade in my Unopened Macbook Pro for a tablet?
Posted by admin in Google tablet Thursday, 27 May 2010 11:11 2 Comments
I was recently awarded a scholarship and if i claim it now, i get a 13 inch macbook pro(Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Memory ,250GB hard drive,1SD cardslot, Built-in 7-hour battery2 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphic
Since i am going to be an engineering student they recommended that i get tablet. But i heard there is a high chance apple is going to update them in January 2010… Lacktv78youtube and google… and when i claim the scholarship in june i can get the most current version.
Also i heard that the HP Tm2 or the TX3 or something is going to come out soon also.
Macbook pros seem really cool plus i can run windows 7 and snow leopard. but the tablet feature may be helpful in class next year.
Apple should just turn the macbook pro into a 13 inch convertible… i can only dream
how much should I sell this camera for on ebay?

The camera is a used Canon PowerShot A540 4xoptical zoom and 6mp
Picture: http://camparts.net/cart/images/canon-powershot-A540-1-2.JPG (note this is a picture from google not my actual camera but looks like that)
I’d sell it in a camera case: tamrac digital series
Picture:http://www.ritzcamera.com/graphics/products/4-01/444764401.jpg ((note this is a picture from google not my actual camera but looks like that. Also its a little different but basically the same)
I’d also sell it with a SanDisk 2GB memory card and possibly a 16mb(8 pictures, came with it) and a 512mb (302 pictures) kingston if I should do that. just selling the 2gb memory card might be enough it holds 1191 photos., Should I sell all three or just the one?
extra question: the new camera i’m getting: Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Green) comes with a memory card: Sony MSMT1G 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2) Media. How many pictures would that hold? And can I use this memory card reader that I have?
Looks kinda like this: http://www.qfonic.com/images/products/blue5in1/image01.jpg
