Here is a summary: From: Conan the Barbarian (John Schmitt) -My recommendation goes to Deluxe Paint ST. Supports STe colours -and has "Two and a half D" (2.5D) animations capabilities via tweening. As -a paint programs it is very good. As an animation tool, it is somewhat -limited. I am not an artist, but I find myself firing this up and playing -and occasionally keeping something. I like it a lot. From: schultzd@sierra.egr.msu.edu (David Schultz) -ART ST, the Shareware art program that gets bundled with QuickST is -reasonable. It will save in a couple different formats. Not sure -where it can be gotten. I got mine with QuickST. From: uunet!ihlpf.att.com!hofmann (James R Hofmann) -You should consider Easydraw from Migraph. It has a number of companion -programs such as Touchup and Easy Tools. From: boyd@nu.cs.fsu.edu (Mickey Boyd) -I would highly recommend Degas Elite. I use it constantly in combination with -PicSwitch to edit clipart for Pagestream. It has a nice user interface, and -does not crash. I do not know if it works on the STE or the TT. Now, I don't -really do much in color with it. If you are interested in actually drawing, -you may wish to give Spectrum 512 a try. Also, I think some really famous -Amiga paint program is now produced for the ST (Deluxe Paint?). Wow! Four replies, and six different recommendations! Is Degas Elite still available? Does anyone else care to add to this list? I don't care if the program is PD or commercial, but I probably don't want to pay more than 50-60 bucks. Another note: I just got the ST Format book on the ST, and it had two disks of PD software. Included was a version of Neochrome that was newer than mine (V0.5?), but had no version number listed. It added features such as circles and polygons, and allowed you to cut and paste blocks, but I had the program crash a couple of times in the 5 hours that I used it. I thought that Neochrome was a commercial product (after V1.0)...what's the deal here? ********************************************************************** Jonathan Whitcomb UUCP: Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, NC Delphi: JBWHIT
