It's simply a list of the top ten purchases. gravy http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/68723#217877 I'll have to say i agree with Bougal. j4m3sb0nd http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/68723#216809 on everything except 4 I have to say: what for? Photoshop, PSP, there is a free open-source alternative: GIMP - it's free, fast, if youdon't like it you can change it and with an extra plugin it can even handle most of the Plugins for Photoshop. And those books... just browse the internet to getthe same information... Phryneas http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/68723#216546 I think 1 and 4 are pretty good , they deserve to be up there. I find that Elements and PSP arent the best digital art software. Musoka http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/68723#216434 I agree with the first one on that list (photoshop), but the other 9 are either redundant or superfluous. A graphire 3 would be a nice gift, although the intuos 2 or 3 are much nicer alternatives. Bougal
