So, while I still have my copy of PS7... I no longer have it installed on either of my machines.  This means that if I am to make sets that I know are compatible with PS7, I have to go through the hassle (and some of the system-related problems) of reinstalling Photoshop7.

I could also, alternatively, set up a virtualbox just for that purpose.  But is it worth it?

On the other side... I could release future brush sets for CS5, BUT for those that are still using older versions, I could release an image pack...
...Does that sound fair?

What are you thoughts?

I'm inclined to go the image pack route...  Haha... ]]> http://kabocha.deviantart.com/journal/Kitty-Thoughts-on-Webcomics-284036098 http://kabocha.deviantart.com/journal/Kitty-Thoughts-on-Webcomics-284036098 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:34:55 PST Kitty! + Thoughts on Webcomics nonadult journals/personal kabocha http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/k/a/kabocha.png?5 Copyright 2012-2013 =kabocha He is happy in his new home.

Follow the path of the "animation student".

This new layout isn't horrible.   No, not terrible.
It's a bit of a  mismatch with the rest of the site, though.
Also, the editing of widgets seems... a little buggy.  It freezes and doesn't like to completely function with my old computer.

Um.  The fact that it does show some of the recent activity annoys me.  I'll be the first to admit that I am a little lazy when replying to comments, and when I can't hide behind the appearance of inactivity, it's a little annoying. :XD:

I do like the customization a bit, though.  Good concept.

Got a few things I want to address:

1.  I am going to be a bit slow on converting :devaxeraider70:'s brushes for a while.

2.  As much as seeing Favorites makes me happy, I really wish people would stop faving all of the converted brushes individually.
I have them set up as a collection for a reason.

And if you really like them, please, please do give some thanks to the original artist (*cough*:devaxeraider70:*cough*).  Stop crediting me with the work. ^^;
