8 months of Zero Windows!
Just came in today as Firefox has you guys on my start page.
I did spend 2 weeks going through the process of installing a virtual machine, added another graphics card and allocated that to be dead until Windows starts. That works fine. I've barely even started the VM and been using mostly Linux software.
I asked questions of GIMP developers about AI. They won't add any commercial software and won't go near AI while there remains outstanding copyright issues.
I'm glad that this worked out for you. I'm still running the same i9 Windows 10 system I have been. It's going on 5 and I work the hell out of it so hopefully Windows 11 will be viable soon.
I don't know if it's phising or not but I got an email today supposedly frome Alludo saying the public support forum was ending on 2/12/24. I haven't read it in detail but looking into that today. I don't think it involves this forum but it wouldn't surprise me it's pretty much dead here most times.
Here's some of what I've been playing with, I've been practicing getting feather detail on small birds. I'm getting 350 to 500% increase in size in print with some of my best shots. The Kinglets have been moderately cooperative this is a female Downy Woodpecker it's about 3.5 to 4.5 inches, this one is about 3.5. It amazes me that Corel produces vector and image applications and has such as poor web site.
