Sai and Photoshop- A Rant

Fri Nov 7, 2008, 12:16 PM
  • Mood: Bliss
  • Listening to: Kids (Consequences Mix)- Star Salzman
So I downloaded PSE7 a few days ago, eager and excited to get my crop and text capabilities returned to me. I was never more happy to see them. I told myself that with this amazing new program, I'd draw some pretty pictures of my Tales of McArthur characters for y'all to see, with text that was actually readable. So, I tried to.

And failed. I wasn't really used to the PSE7 interface, and everything was all jittery and didn't really go where I wanted. Worse still, it wasn't registering pen pressure, even when I told it to. Nothing against he amazingness of Photoshop, but it all looked pretty bad- nothing compared to my Sai output. But Sai had expired three days earlier, I knew. I hadn't opened it in five.

Now, here's where my happiness begins. Just out of a morbid curiosity, I opened up Sai. Surprisingly, IT STILL WORKED. There was a "Trial period ends" notice in the corner, but you could still do everything. I was just like... 8O. I drew Yama in this space, and he was beautiful. The way he was drawn, that is. I was very impressed, very happy, and very thankful. I had never loved pen pressure so much.

Then I clicked the "File" option, and saw that the "Save", "Save As", and "Export" options were greyed over. Then I went to "Edit", and saw that "Cut" and "Copy" were gone, but "Paste" still worked. Then I realized how the game was played. It'd let me use the software, but it'd be damned if it let me take the picture I'd made and show it to the world. It forgot, however, about one important detail- the almighty PRINT SCREEN BUTTON. I hit that button, pasted into Photoshop, and bam, there he was. It's a little rough, but I'm still able to use this amazing program.

Thing is, I don't know how this gambit works entirely. So, until I can buy the program or get conclusive information, I'm just going to keep it open, and hopefully it'll keep working.

So, now I have two really cool programs. If they could merge themselves and create a sort of SUPERPROGRAM, I'd be happy, but for now, I'm more than satisfied. Well, that's my spiel. See y'all in a bit! With PRETTY DRAWINGS! 8D

Perhaps, some people may have forgotten for whatever reason they did. Maybe reinform them and give them a bit of extra time.

But not much :iconteheplz:
