Interest/Experience with graphics software: Hobbyist

Operating System: Windows 9x


If memory serves me correctly, I used an old pragram - 3D Font Maker. It only saves in its own format of as WMF. I saved it as a WMF, converted it to JPG to add a slight 'blur' then converted it to GIF, where it was 15% smaller and my PC at the time only supported 256 colors.

What graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
Micrografx Picture Publisher 8 (used since ver 4), ZSoft Paintbrush for Windows (disc for years), IrfanView (for viewing & conversions), Qimage (for printing multiple pictures), Jpegcrop (lossless JPG cropping)

What was the first graphics program you learned?
ZSoft PC Paintbrush (DOS)

What is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
Probably ZSoft PC Paintbrush, because you always remember the first.

How long have you been working with graphics software?
Around 9 years

How do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
Day to day - mostly just for cropping/editing digital pictures.

What is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
Don't be afraid to try anything. It cost nothing to experiment, and "undo" is the greatest feature of any software.

Where do you get your inspiration?
That's a hard one. If you ask me to make a picture of anything I want, all that I will think of is a blank screen. But ask for a title slide for your Railroad slides, poster to advertise crafts, business cards or a proposal for a new store and POW I'll throw it together.


Made in Picture Publisher 8. This is my attempt at a logo for my High School to use for Alumni/reunions.


Made in Picture Publisher 8. I got bored and wanted to make a logo that expressed my feelings of an earthquake.


Logo made in PC Paintbrush - blurred edges added with Picture Publisher 8. A logo I use to paste in a corner of pictures that will be used in my friend's Railroad related group.
