Little Benny and Friends

Along with the 3d animation software, Poser, I used Corel Photo Paint and have seldom used Photo Shop to create Little Benny Art. I loved Corel Photo Paint because I was able to view avi files and make frames into movies. However, when things get out of date and old, you have to make all things new. Sometimes it’s good to try different programs.

When I switched from Windows XP to Windows Vista, I felt a little down at first. I was sad that I was going to have to struggle to be able to use Corel Photo Paint freely. When I tried to install the Photo Paint application, the file was not being recognized or maybe I was not doing something right. It is a very huge program full of old folders that had a program in it that I cherished. I have used the photo paint program for several years, thanks to my brother. When I found out that it was not working, I thought, “Oh no! What am I going to do now.” I went online and saw trial versions and very expensive prices of Corel Photo Paint. Then, somehow, I found a freeware paint program called “Gimp”.The program is like Corel Photo Paint and Photoshop. It is good enough for me. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. God bless the makers of Gimp.
