Description

I've come across an old installer for PaintTool SAI that I had picked up a year, maybe longer than a year ago, and had completely forgotten about it. Now there aren't any indications on whether what I have is the trial version or not and I can't tell as I have only just experimented with the program so I don't quite know how to pull up the extra info such as "about" and or the version info window, so I guess if it keeps running after the next day or so, it's a keeper, otherwise I'll just uninstall it after the trial period is over. :giggle:

On thing I noticed about SAI is the brush functions are very much like those in PhotoShop, so I felt pretty much comfortable mucking around with SAI almost as if I had been using it for awhile.. but I haven't.. :XD: Anyhow here's Beverly Junebed in her original PhotoShop sketchiness with a very fast, and I do mean FAST like a minute or longer, cleaned ink lines in SAI above.

I'm hoping the SAI that I've just mucked with isn't the trial version because I'm already liking that program having only used it for an hour or so just now, and I'd love to keep using it.. however if it is just a trial, no real big deal, I'll just go back to my old standby of PhotoShop and continue on as usual. =D

There is one big immediately noticeable difference with SAI as compared to PS or GIMP that makes me hope this isn't the trial sample... The fact that the brushes in SAI are more constrained in size variance with applied pen pressure than PhotoShop, and for quick hand inking without using pen-paths, SAI is much faster at drawing than PS or GIMP, and I could use any help to speed up my hobby and get more done with my time... hence I hope what I have isn't a trial. :XD:

I mean just look at the difference between the two versions. The top was done with SAI and a brush roughly 12 monitor dots in width, whilst the PhotoShop rough sketch was done with a brush roughly 15 dots wide, and while the bottom doodle was done with quick messy brush strokes, the top wasn't... Each line was done quickly, however each line was a single pass of the hand and quite frankly I can't get smooth lines like these in PS without cheating and using the path tool. :XD:

So over the weekend I'll be playing with PaintingTool SAI to see if I have all the functions and that it's not a trial-ware.. but if it is, no big.. I'll just jump right back into PS and keep doing what I enjoy... Might not be as fast as SAI but at least my quality won't suffer. =)

Please keep working SAI program.. Please keep working! :XD:
