And that too.
Nice stuff Rev.
How do you two rate GIMP? I find it a decent middle ground, compared to the older versions of both PSP and PS I have had. I think 6 is he highest I went on either, so my data is, mm, dated.

I use GIMP for a lot of stuff. The newer MkII Viper pics (the ones after the MkII toon), the Boeing Bird of Prey, and the toons on my web page were all done with GIMP. It's functionality is comparable to Photoshop (which I've never used personally), but without having to throw down a huge chunk of change. That means it's free and open source. Good thing for a hobbyist with kids such as myself.

I managed to get myself a cracked copy of CS3 Design Suite Premium. I bought a book to learn it all, but so far I haven't bothered much. I should get back on that & stop using Photoshop just for making macros.

The Korolev.
Can't say I've seen a Korolev before, is that an official design that hasn't been used on-screen (or used like other ship models in background footage like the Wolf 359 wreckage)? Or a fan-made one? Looks like it's got a USS Pasteur (Olympic class?) Secondary hull and a New Orleans saucer. Still, I like it.

I find Photoshop to be superior to GIMP, but that may be because what formal education I've had in graphic design and photomanipulation was done in PS, and GIMP is organized differently. I also hate how GIMP can't just show one window.

^ That's pretty much the biggest complaint of most people (re: multiple windows). It takes some getting used to, but it's not going to prevent you from doing anything. I'd prefer a single window as well. It may happen someday, but I think it will take at least another year before that happens.

Most likely. I like GIMP a lot, and I have seen some incredible work done with it, on par with Aban's stuff, so it can work. I lack the ability to do stuff like that myself, but if everyone could do it guys like Aban would have to find a new line of work.
It takes some getting used to Dan, but once you get good with it you can do all sorts of stuff with it.
PSP I just did not like, but, that was a long while ago by software standards, so it has improved enough to be version 10 now. I think what bothered me most was I missed the layering PS gave me, which is what attracted me to GIMP.
I miss my access to 3DSM more than other programs, and I have not found an open source 3D program that I have liked, even a little, after being tainted by it.

I have always liked the Reverend's take on the Antares class, both the original and refit. Keep up the good work, sir.

Wow, then I had Ver 3 then, so it has been longer than I thought. I think that it was the first version with hot wax coating, although, I could be mistaken on that too.
Another option for me is I was not bright enough to figure out how to use PSP, which I really do not like the thought of, but, it is a seemingly plausible possibility.
And I on that note, as I do need to change the subject now, show me more ships.
