Hi, it's jazzi here! I was just wondering about all the graphics that people create and how different they are!
What do you use to create your graphics? There's fractals, renders, florals, landscapes, etc.
I use Paint Shop Pro with Apophysis, and sometimes I use Chaospro, but not very ofter.
There is a a new program that is like Paint Shop Pro, but it's FREE!! You can download it at

PhotoShop is a wonderful program, but it's very expensive! So is Adobe Illustrator!
I've tried Artweaver and it has a lot of nice features, but it's not quite like Paint Shop Pro!
There are a lot of plugins that Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop can use that both programs can use. Some free and some for sale.
One great plugin is BladePro! It's inexpensive and creates great textures and effects, you can find that at http://www.flamingpear.com. You can get a lot of free textures and presets that people have packaged up. You can also experiment with the textures and save your own effects.
Well, I've only scratched the surface of this subject, but it's a start!
