@gill: Ouch! Lost my Vue and a couple hundred worth of "locked" content  -- was way too much to buy unlocked versions if/when available and I wasn't going to be using it anywhere else so I figured no big deal -- when Cornucopia went kablooey. Many moons later, when I had a new computer and was setting up my graphics programs, I went in search of wherever they'd moved to only to find nope, gone forever. Was supposedly some means of transferring people's accounts, etc. to the e-on site, or whatever, but that didn't work out for a lot of people with even bigger accounts and losses than mine. And of course wanting even more money to get back seriously crippled stuff I'd already paid for? Thanks but no thank you, e-on!

Photoshop I will at least get more use of, so I'm seriously considering it. Did try Elements last year and it was very good but still not everything I wanted in it. Enough, though, that I would probably have bought it next time it went on sale. The cheapest PS I see at Adobe is $155.88 Canadian a year and at $12.99 a month it's doable since I'm dropping a barely used Kindle Unlimited subscription -- do not get me started on how Amazon is wreaking havoc with their new "improved" ereader apps and file formats -- that costs only a buck or two less. Also helps I have not made the big Daz leap to Genesis 9 because plenty of life in 8, 8.1 and even G3 for my purposes. That's a whole bunch saved right there.

And if anybody's wondering, my reduced 3D spending habits are not just because of free/cheap AI that does the same thing and more (when it cooperates ;-)  Just that I have metric crap tons of stuff yet to be used and only in it as a hobby now, not a job. Oh, sure, something very special may come along but with prices rocketing ever higher, it's hard to justify more Vicky skimp-wear in my overflowing runtimes. Even if G9 being unisex again means it (sometimes) fits Michael too.

But enough of that. We're here for the AI art, yes? The making of pretty, or sometimes not so pretty but still fascinating, pictures. 

There, that oughta count. Maybe even on both counts cuz I think I see cleavage where it really shouldn't be. Well, not that much, normally.
