Does Painter work on your machine? It's pretty resource intensive and just about kills my iBook, but I've done art in it before...
I never tried painter until now. I wasn't able to register an account from their site until I said I was from Antartica. Odd.
It doesn't kill my Mac.. it is a tad laggy, but not so bad. My computer is pretty slow, so I'm surprised, especially after reading your post. This is fun, a lot better than that other painting program I used. I'm going to mess around with it more. |

da font - No tutorials, not software (per say), but they DO have a nice selection of fonts for download, and depending on what you're doing, fonts are helpful.
My favorite feature, though, is that while browsing the fonts, there's a place where you can type in some text, and each font will have a sample using your text below it's name. Very handy, IMO. |

BlueRobot, it's mostly a place with a few layouts for websites, but I learned a lot from their code. Mind you most of it... I ignored to make my layout on here. A List Apart, I always found this to be really informative and helpful. |

OpenOffice has a image maker thing. It looks a bit like PhotoShop. I don't know how good it is, but at first glance it looked decent. |

MSPAINT.EXE Microsoft Paint Comes with nearly every Windows
tutorial: if ya paste a pic larger than the current pic, it asks you to resize. doesn't ask if it came w/ XP. (bug??) and...well, unless you don't know what a mouse, keyboard and pixel are, you shouldn't need a tutorial. XD. very simple, paint is. but very effective. |

Here's some tutorials for webdesign:
PageResource.com W3Schools Web Page Design for Designers Web Pages That Suck Webmonkey
And since this is related to webdesign, I thought some font pages would help, where people can download lots of different fonts. Fonts are a very vital part of webdesign:
1001 Fonts.com Fonts Unlimited
Hoped this helped. Enjoy! |

We sorta had one of these in this forum before, in that we had one linking to tutorials, but I thought it would also be a good idea to link to Graphics Software as well And seeing as how we don't have one in the forum again yet, and how I'm bored out of my mind, I thought I'd start one
