In the 3.x days, I experienced a few crashes with the program, which resulted in some lost time, and some file corruption. Fortunately, I keep backups, so it wasn't a big deal, but it could have been. 4.0 seemed to knock most of that out, and I remember only a couple of crashes on 4.5, none of which corrupted my files. So far, 5 has been crash-free. It has hung on me once or twice, but only on opens and saves, but then it kept on trucking. Considering the size of the files I'm working with, I think that's to be expected. I've had worse hangs in Photoshop. So, if you were a users of earlier versions and that turned you off, I think you'll be happy with the stability of these newer versions.BD Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609824498413769208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-6468978720514159812017-01-30T03:22:45.687-07:002017-01-30T03:22:45.687-07:00For some strange reason, we sometimes get an email...For some strange reason, we sometimes get an email from the contact form about a blog post instead of comments on the actual blog post, even though we allow anonymous comments. Here's the latest:<br /><br />Hi, my name is Nicholas and I work at Artsy.net. While researching Norman Rockwell I found your page -<br />http://www.bdcrowell.com/2013_03_01_archive.html.<br /><br />I wanted to briefly tell you about Artsy's Norman Rockwell page, and about our mission. We are working hard to make all of the world’s art accessible to anyone. Our Norman Rockwell page, for example, includes his bio, works, related artists, as well as his up-to-date exhibitions.<br /><br />I’m contacting certain website & blog owners who have written about Norman Rockwell, and asking them to help us achieve this mission by adding a link to Artsy’s Norman Rockwell page. In addition to promoting our Rockwell's page, I believe your visitors would enjoy this content.<br /><br />If you are able to add a link to Artsy’s Norman Rockwell page (https://www.artsy.net/artist/norman-rockwell), please let me know, as I’d love to share it with my team.<br /><br />Best,<br />Nicholas<br /><br />"The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back." - Norman RockwellBD Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609824498413769208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-88353673783088949302017-01-30T03:20:18.206-07:002017-01-30T03:20:18.206-07:00For some strange reason, we sometimes get an email...For some strange reason, we sometimes get an email from the contact form about a blog post instead of comments on the actual blog post, even though we allow anonymous comments. Here's the latest:<br /><br /><br />I noticed that you'd shared the Wikipedia page on digital manipulation and I thought that you may find our recently published infographic of interest.<br /><br />Here's the link - https://www.follio.com/image-manipulation-how-to-avoid-copyright-infingement/<br /><br />The infographic looks at the legalities involved in image manipulation, mainly focusing on US law but also reviewing laws around the world. It looks at how these laws are interpreted by different people and shares some example cases.<br /><br />It may make a useful addition to this page http://www.bdcrowell.com/2014_08_01_archive.html.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for your consideration.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Will BD Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609824498413769208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-48840940189049428822015-05-27T03:22:44.777-07:002015-05-27T03:22:44.777-07:00Thanks for the comment.

You're far more likely to run into a CGI kids' movie or TV show than you are one made with traditional painted cells. Comics, too. I know Dilbert and Garfield are primarily Cintiq creations these days, and I suspect there are more, maybe most. It's cleaner and more efficient.BD Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609824498413769208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-68792415621297345862015-04-09T13:05:47.017-07:002015-04-09T13:05:47.017-07:00You wrote: "...

We all loved her and we shared wonderful times with Brooke and her family. I want you to know, she was a wonderful wife and wonderful mother to her boys. The short time she was with them, she gave them more than anyone could ever ask for. Yes, they always held her hand and reminded her how much they loved her, and yes it was peaceful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-14424143764371262072013-12-12T13:03:56.400-07:002013-12-12T13:03:56.400-07:00You are welcome, Krysten.You are welcome, Krysten.BD Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609824498413769208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834254137077649120.post-21392621199651432152013-12-12T13:03:26.814-07:002013-12-12T13:03:26.814-07:00You are welcome, Anonymous.
