yup... that's one side effect of learning new and more advanced apps I'm afraid is that it turns you into bitter and twisted indivduals... who have no ability to look beyond their new found ways...

seriously though... as I've explained before - by all means use Mspaint... it's just that it's not the best app around for the purpose of pushing pixels efficiently... it's horses for courses of course and if you feel you get better results out of it then go ahead and use it... that fact still remains though, that sticking ones head in the sand - putting ones fingers in ones ears and going "YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA - not listening" will never amount to one advancing ones skills by ignoring those that know that have gone beyond that...
I was dragged kicking and screaming from dpaint and autodesk animator cos that's all I knew at the time... but with practice and time it makes sense... i've never used MSpaint so i can't really criticise it if i'm fair... but like I said... if you enjoy it - and can get good results out of it... then power to your sword and go forward in glee... knowing that you can use a rusty old spoon to create fantastic pieces of art... but in my world, time is of the essence and rusty old spoons just don't cut the mustard... hence the use of shiny spoons to dig the condiment out of the jar...
go figure!
yes I'm choleric - but i'm choleric for a reason...
look deep into your heart... you knows it!
