I resently just got a new program called Painter X by Corel, and I love it! Started and finished a image in a single sitting using it. The way painter works compared to photoshop when it comes to painting in the image is just perfect couldn't ask for it to be better.
And now, instead of using my Bamboo Fun from Wacom, I desided to buy and try a VisTablet, it has much greater surface area as well as 2x the amount of pressure levels. I'm really liking the vistablet but at the same time I miss some of the features from the Wacom, if only I could combine what I liked about both.... oh well.
