SCROLL for my PhotoImpact painting and object slideshows
(PDF email has changed to rightasrainstudios@gmail.com)

I learnt PhotoImpact for 10 years in the 2000s. I still surprisingly use it for all the basics. I know Photoshop but always revert to PI. It covers all the bases, very dependable. I love it.
