We want to start compiling a delicious compendium of creative resource sites that are especially tailored towards Corel Painter users. So let us know about your favourite online haunts and we’ll put them in the magazine! Ooo and don’t be shy about promoting your own sites

Hopefully by now you will have had a play about with the new features on the site, which have been added to make navigating and managing galleries even easier. The biggest change is the new commands in the Images side panel. Use these to search galleries or images in bulk. When it comes to managing your gallery, you can now edit or delete images and organise them according to categories. See issue 5 for a complete run through of the new features and also look out for a guide on the forum. Enjoy!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, full of creative endeavours. I just wanted to give you a bit of warning. At some point in the next couple of days, the website will be down for a while. We have been working on some new features to improve the site, so these need to be added. It shouldn’t take very long and will make the site even better than it is at the moment!

Now that our web community is getting bigger and bigger, we’re going to be doing all we can to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Part of this involves maintaining user accounts and you can help us! Please make sure you activate your account within one month of setting it up. Any accounts not activated after a month will be deleted, so activate yours today! Hope you all have a great weekend and speak to you next week.

Hope you have all been keeping well while I’ve been gone. It’s lovely to see all the new users and artwork on the site - although it’s going to take me ages to catch up on who everyone is! And talking of artwork, I have the winner of the first creative challenge. It’s Lynne Mitchell, who painted a beautiful blossom image. See the winning entry in issue 4 and also see some of the other submissions. Ooo, and don’t forget to enter the new challenge! We love seeing your work
