Description
Arc, the herbalist's son, had made his place in the troll clan long ago with the end of the tale of Isa. The lone survivor of an epic journey, he reaped the rewards of the retelling of the legend. He has since grown into a fierce warrior and a mightly summoner. One of the community serfs looks on with fear as Arc pulls forth the power of the light from the campfire.

Been a long while since my trolls and the Tale of Isa. I was just revisiting them in my gallery and was inspired to do another image. Use Arc here, since he was the lone survivor from the tale.

Had a problem here and would love some help. I rendered the original image in Vue6I. Saved the image as a .bmp. When I open it in IrfanView or XaraXtreme, it looks fine, but when I open it in my main photo program (PSPXI) it looks pixelated and my effects didn't work or look right.
I ended up making the image look too dark (I think...not sure) because of the effect I was getting inside my PaintShopProXI with all the pixelation. Same image, when I was done reworking, looks fine in the other programs but not in PSPXI.
I need to know what it looks like. I would like to know why it's looking pixelated only in PSP and how I can reset defaults. My favorite brush effects (dodge and burn at 0 percent hardness and 12 percent opacity) did not work correctly. They seemed to be applied at 100 percent hardness and 100 percent opacity. Anyone have an idea what's going on? Help!

Excellent scene!!
Arc's been practicing and looks like he got the ol' fire trick just right for toasting Troll sized marshmallows ! Not sure about the problem or wassup with those programs not working with each other, but I'm sure some other artist here will have an answer. As for the darkness, to me it does seem a bit too dark as the Trolls would be more evenly lit if they are that close to the fire, but then you would need some extra background elements (trees, boulders..etc) so in this darker state it works just fine ! Nice to see the Trolls again and keep 'em coming Nancy ! ~Cheers~
