A screenshot of ArtRage. Because I felt like it ... current painting in progress.

ArtRage is by Ambient Design

For a bit more about the program see ArtRage Painting
To see some of the varied and lovely possibilites, please visit this squidoo lens for a sample of works by deviantARTists. There are some amazing paintings - and some closer to beginner. In other words, something for everyone :D

Description
The red thing on the left is a stencil that I forgot to get rid of, the panel over it is the options for my current tool. The tools are shown in the bottom left - the current one is a soft palette knife, for blending. I over use this a lot. It's very good for mixing paint up, and smoothing it out.
The backdrop is black, because I find it easier to see what I'm doing - changing the background colour often helps changing the impression and letting me spot problems.

The bar at the top is the 'main' menu; import, export, move the whole picture around and so forth.
The one at the bottom is for adding things (like tracing images and stencils) and manipulating the image or layer.

Right hand corner is obviously the colours - th ebar at the bottom lets me choose how metallic the paint is, and you can make custom colour sets if you wish (I generally don't bother).
Going up on the right hand side, the layers panels - one of my favourite parts of the full version, and recently improved so that you can name them and move them around.

All the little menus disappear if move the paintbrush under them, or ';permanently' if you click on the green tab.


About half of this doesn't work in the free version, but I'd still recommend it. (Full is $US 25 - they have NO advertising budget....)
And even better - you can make money with it! :rofl:

I've never tried Photoshop - but I really, really like ArtRage, because it feels so much like real paint. There's a free version, if you're curious - if you're used to Photoshop, you might not care for it, but it's a personal preference.
