GPS equals "Gimp Paint Studio"? We don't have it. The guy who was interested in packaging it seems to have vanished. I did suggest we would like to include it in US by default, but I think he is really only interested in doing that for an LTS release as it is a lot less work for him. I think Mypaint or inkscape are the only painting programs we have. There are some 3D things in here like blender and synfig. I am not a graphic artist really so I don't know what is good or not. However it sounds like this may be an area we have not covered at all. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
