	Brian	I just got a graphics tablet and although it works fine with Paint, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a graphics program with a wider palette. Brian Longstaff Posted - 07/03/2008 20:07:17
	Helz	Hi Brian I use Corel Paint Shop Pro, which has plenty of medium options. A better programme is Corel Painter, but that is more expensive so perhaps it's something to try a little later. If I remember correctly, both can be downloaded as a trial version, giving you 30 days to try out. Also, if you would like to learn more about how to use these types of programmes, including short cuts, layers, palette options etc, go to : www.lynda.com There are "free" tutorials and some you can pay for. It's a brilliant site for learning! Good luck Helz http://www.helzbelzart.com Posted - 08/03/2008 11:29:10
	Maureen	You can also Google 'Artrage', another free to use programme which is popular. There's a higher level to purchase which is quite inexpensive at around £30 I think ...... a lot cheaper than PSP which I also use. Posted - 15/03/2008 15:39:52
	Robert	this is freeware: http://www.getpaint.net/ check the "about" section for info. Posted - 17/03/2008 12:17:02
	Alex	Hi Brian, You may want to give "Twistedbrush" a try from http://www.pixarra.com/ It is a well supported and very versatile. I registered the program years ago and use it with a tablet. Posted - 23/03/2008 22:29:15
