Finally broke down and gave ArtRage 3 a try. I'm impressed with what you can do for the price although I wish I had more controls over the brush settings and blending. Decided to go with a landscape study and it came out alright, not too bad for a first time having never used the program before. If I had it to do over again I would of based it on something a little more dramatic, I got bored with doing the work about half way thru.
