and there is quite a few more...............if I had to choose only 2 it would be Brilliance 2.0 version  and SCALA MM300 or higher.

Brilliance dethroned Deluxe Paint a few years agio a the best 2D paint package.

indeed.............Brilliance has the best interface for a paint program.have not yet encountered one so good............and the manual is well written.......certainly helped me alot.

I wish all Paint interfaces wee like this.............ImageFX had something like this, but awful icons, the borders looked ugly and most of all prety slow.  The interface for Brilliance remains proportional no matter what resolution..........it always looks the same....I hate when things get squashed and ugly.

I was extremely happy when I first loaded it....even though I had no clue how to use it for animations yet. I just loved how it looked.and still love it....................sometimes I load it just to have it on the screen genlocked over a TV signal so I can paint on TV or as a sort of screen saver.............love it love it love it.
