Graphic Editors & Tools
these are the graphic editors & tools we use
Font Runner- is a Font Viewer that Denny & Bev had used for years we have tried other free font viewers and it works the best for us
Argus Preset Viewer- this is a awesome little tool for all 3 editors for PSD file & PS Brushes viewing in Windows & File Explorer gives you a thumbnail where you can view PSD files and Photoshop Brushes as thumbnails in your Folders so it works with Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop & Photoshop Elements .. if you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you can also see previews of Styles , Patterns , Gradients, Custom Shapes & etc.. a must have tool.. Bev loves this tool
BrushBox- is a plugin for Photoshop to organize the brushes it organize the brushes better
Media Chance Plugin Brigde- this is a little tool to run older 32 bit plugins into 64 bit Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro if you are having trouble with the older plugins.
Note ! the Photoshop subscription Bev was worried about it at first but her Photoshop was so old she took the plunge you pay per month and get the newest version it is only 10$ a month she has the lowest plan $9.99 and we spend that on supplies or a pizza …Bev absolutely loves it & she thinks 10$ a month on something you love is worth it specially if you do not have other hobbies… but that is her opinion

Colors
Tools, Charts, Hex Numbers & Schemers. We mostly work with colors in the tube or graphicthat we are using and match colors with that but if we are making something from stratch here is the tools we use to match colors together or make a color theme scheme … Here is a few we use .. I love the Colorzilla tool a little handy tool, for grabbing a color from a web page . & love Color Schemer V 2 it is a old compared to other Color Schemers or Match Color Generators … but it is plain simple I love it … you just put in the Hex number & no fooling with wheels.
** Please Note if your Photoshop the newer version it has a built in match helper of colors to
