It was fun

It worked great while on the frree portion of the subscription, the moment I paid the year subscription... it won't work!!
Took out the and re-installed it... still won't work.
Went through the supprt and help links that have no answers as to what's wrong.

Natural Media Bliss

Painter is awesome. Now Painter Essentials is out, the lite version of Painter. So no worries about getting all that you need for straight ahead content generation, without having to pay an arm and a leg for the full suite.

I own an old fully paid for Painter, but the screen on my old laptop blew out, so I lost the download in that laptop. Too busy to try recovering the hard drive yet, so I decided to check out Pe. Super sweet.

I'm good for now, and really glad that I can do so much for 6 clams/month. I still wish that applications on the Mac could be bought outright. The subscription thing is a royal pain.

But when you have things that you really need to get done, getting Painter Essentials is totally a good deal.
