Flame Painter 3 is an excellent graphic package that will complement several other graphics packages I've either purchased or received free from here or elsewhere over the last several years. Once you've installed the program and followed the second link to get your registration code (you need the promotional code received via the giveaway link first). You can then access almost 250 extra brush styles via the link provided on the page where you find the activation code and email you used; (found via the second link once you receive the activation code). I'd also recommend downloading the executable from the link provided on the same page as the activation code because you get both the 32 and 64 bit executable versions of Flame Painter 3, whereas it's not clear which version you get with the giveaway executable that's downloaded from the giveaway site.

You can get the free extra brushes HERE. Just drag and drop each brush into the brushes folder (it does say you can drop them directly into the open program but that wouldn't work for me. Opening up the installed programs folder (default location C:\Program files\Flame Painter 3\) then drag and dropping each one into the brushes folder worked perfectly. I was only able to select one brush at a time, so it did take several minutes to transfer all of the brushes, but it was worth the effort becasue many of the free brushes looked amazing.

I'm really looking forwards to messing around with this program. A big thank you to the developer Escape Motions for giving away this version. I would love the Pro version, but there's no way I could justify buying at full price as I don't do anything constructive with them; just mess around/play with these programs. I purchased one of their other programs Amberlight 2 a few years ago via BDJ (discount offer no longer live, but it's still much cheaper than directly from Escape Motions, when it was 75% off the full price).

I would love to see Rebelle given away here sometime in the near future as unfortunately I can't justify paying almost $100 for it at the moment, especially as I only use such programs for personal use/messing around. I've never really created a work of art yet :(

This Personal edition is too limited and the Pro is too expensive. Seriously, $90 for drawing flames?

installed this on Vista SP2 and it worked ok, the voucher email from giveaway of the day, ended up in my junk mail folder but the download link did not...
Was only able to submit personal data if I agreed to let them send me promotional emails... not impressed!

Now about the program, this is not an artists tool like paintshop or even MS paint. There are reasons why it meets the vendors claims of "Flame Painter is a unique paint software that lets you easily create original artworks" every "artwork" is original because there is no precision possible when drawing, the so called brushes are generated by random patterns presented in a PNG file so you cannot design a brush deliberatly, it's just a matter of trial and error, It is unlikely you'll be able to plan an artwork in advance and then draw it, more likely import a raster image background, add a new raster layer and draw some random squigle and then and some other raster layer to try make sense of the squigle...
I'd like to suggest that the so called brushes on their website be made available as a zip or 7z archive containing ALL the PNG files instead of having to download them one at a time.
To me this is a toy and not a serious paint software product, and the exclusion of all vector graphics from the edition we get makes it even less useful.

Downloaded and installed with absolutely no issues whatsoever. It's pretty simple when you actually use the README file that's included. It provides step-by-step instructions to get the code and install the program.

Did a few quick checks on this program and, I must say, I think that this will give a new dimension to some of my graphics. I am no artist by any stretch of the imagination. So this is quite a boon to me in making some of my photos a bit more interesting.

Again, open the README file before even running the SETUP file and you will have everything you need to get the installation to run smoothly.

Re the comment made by #23 (muggles) there is no denying that he/she is entitled to express an opinion, but bugs me is that I have posted comments in the past without the use of profanities and they have been deleted because the moderator obviously didn't like I had something to say that wasn't to their liking ... So can the moderator or anyone from GOTD explain why Muggles' comment was allowed. Seems to be double standards at play here.

Muggles, not having a go at you mate, normally comments like yours aren't posted. Nice one!
