I don't use pay software.

My tools:
Apophysis
Blender (sometimes)
GIMP 2.2

Vue 5 esprit, bought and legal

~kaiti-sukai Sep 7, 2007

I haven't bought it, but as soon as I make enough money I will. I just wouldn't be able to make any money at all without it. It's very difficult to find a regular job for a disabled person in a tiny town. Right now I'm paying for food out of my pocket. Like was mentioned before, how is one to make money if in order to make money you have to have money but to get money you have to have money to start. Where does one begin?

*TonyDennison Aug 28, 2007 Professional General Artist

I'm too poor to worry about doing things above board.

I have to capitalize on every conceivable advantage I can give myself.

When I "make it" I'll go legit...

~C0Rkn0T Aug 28, 2007

the answer to that for me is open source. or just free softwares in general

~Obitus-Strand Aug 27, 2007

Bought and already payed for with money from prints... pure profit now

`DVeditor Aug 27, 2007 Professional General Artist

Yes. If you're making money off of it, you should own it.

~The-Panda-Z Aug 27, 2007

i just am bale to find them

~buchvecny Aug 27, 2007

i think as soon as u make one cent with the warez you should buy em. However if u just want to resize your thousand photos and someone told u photoshop image processor is good for this i think it is just OK to download it.

~buchvecny Aug 27, 2007

err now i see 70_ of u think that you should not actually buy the software. great.
