I took a course in dPaint from Jim Sachs at the Anaheim Ami-Expo..by the
way I highly recommend these "master classes" for anyone who wants to
go beyond basics.  Anyhow Jim is an avid believer in dPaint and couldn't
understand why people actually went out and plunked down hard cash for
ray-tracers and the like when you could do the same thing with dPaint.  
Well needless to say we're not all Jim Sach's (not me anyhow!).  But I 
have to agree that dPaint II is awesome.  Ease of use, lots of features..
and used properly..32 colors goes much farther than you might imagine.  
For instance Sachs presents his animation/game proposals to Disney 
studios using dPaint and then genlocking out to video tape.  He showed
one he'd done for 20,000 Leagues under the sea..it was great.  

So much software..so little time!
