My Programs

 

Thought it would be fun to make a list of all the expensive programs I use for making dolling and websites... or not!

For my dollz I use Paint. I spend hours and hours on pixelshading all my dollz, and sometimes I really hate that you can do so little it, but all the same, I keep using it. I know how to use it, and it suits my needs.

I also use Gimp - a free graphics program that is supposed to have the same functions as PSP. I don't know if it is true, I have never used PSP. I know that the Gimp is a bit hard to work out at first, but when you learn how to use it, it has actually got a lot of useful functions (I still don't know half of it). I mostly use the Gimp for making .gif-files, removing backgrounds and putting different parts together in a picture (you can use layers, which makes it a lot easier).

For website building I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. It's easy to work out, and you can both work with codes and design (I do the last most of the time, as I'm to lazy to do all the coding every time). I'm sure you can do a lot of fancy stuff with the program, but I just use some of the more basic funtions. I would like to learn some more about HTMl and other codes, but I really haven't got the time or the patience that it takes...

I used Noteblock for quite a time, just to find out how HTML-codes work. That was a funny time =)
