I am trying to learn Photoshop and have run into a problem.
I have a good bit of training in traditional oil painting. I think of color as it is mixed on a palette. Trying to find colors on Photoshop is very frustrating as I can normally not find the color I want much less variations. I seem to not be able to make the mental switch to Photoshop’s way of thinking about color. When one gets older the mind loses some flexibility I guess.
Does any one know of a plug in or separate program which will allow me to mix colors like I would paint then transfer the colors to Photoshop. I looked at Corel Painter but it is a tad pricy.
I am using ps7 right now and will upgrade to cs2 when and if I think I need the extra tools.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
