dawnre,

Nice job! Did you have a photo for reference, or a model.. or was this just done "out of your head"?

In any case, you did a great job. Only one question, and I hope you don't mind, ... it seems that her right arm would be visible.. or maybe it's just me imagining that it would. Am I nuts? Feel free to answer than one [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Keep up the good work. Painter has a tendancy to bring out the best in us, don't you think?

Happy Painting! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Jinny, your right, she is missing that arm..lol I used clip art for the model and just didn't feel like doing the rest of it..I'll get back to finish her up the right way soon.
You're right about painter. Can you tell me some of the pluses in the painter6 over 5.5??

dawnre,

I'll try to be brief (not my forte as most readers know all too well) [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Layers on which we can now make Selections (no more Floaters or Transparent Layers.. all Layers are automatically transparent)

The option to check the Preserve Transparency box in the Layers section so transparent areas are protected.

Dynamic Text - a lot of freedom to create text on curves; add drop shadows; make the text look recessed; fill with color, Pattern, Gradient, reflected e-maps.. and probably more

Image Slicer - used to create image maps for the Web

Brush Controls Palette - almost all of the brush controls are now gathered in this palette's sections making it a lot easier to adjust existing brushes and create custom brush variants.

Painter's palettes in general are arranged and displayed differently. Some people like this interface a lot better, some don't. However, there are many ways to arrange palettes to suit your needs and also create custom palettes containing only what you need for a specific project.

Many new brushes in both the default Painter brush library and on the CD, especially the Impasto brush category which contains 32 variants.

Among the new brushes are the Pattern Pen brush variants that allow you to paint a brush stroke that contains the chosen Pattern (rather than revealing a flat tiled Pattern below a brush stroke).

You can see some examples of the Pattern Pen brushes in the Fun with Brush Strokes section of my site, PixelAlley:

It also might help to check some of the tutorials written for Painter 6 (there's a legend at the top of the list of tutorials that explains how to know what version or versions they're written for):

Those are the main things I can think of. Hope this helps. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
