Hello, here is another issue of
the Dogwaffler of the Moment newsletter.
- We'd love it if you'd like us, and not just on
Valentine's Day.
- We're getting ready for PD Artist 9.1'ish
- We have 6 more tutorials for you.
If you have an earlier version such as v8 or
earlier, be sure to contact us if you need a
discount coupon for your upgrade. You will receive
a full installer nonetheless with your upgrade
order, so it doesn't matter if your old version is
no longer installed or working. This is great to
know if your hard disk crashed or you switched to
a newer computer.

Share your Love for
Waffling and Howling
With or without Valentine's Day, we hope you have
a good love story to tell, your love for
Dogwaffle. So we'd like to encourage you to speak
up and shout out: post a quick statement on your
Facebook wall, or send a tweet to your followers,
and tell the world that on this special day, you
just love to waffle and howl, with PD Artist or PD
Howler. One thing is sure: we'll love you for it!
Sending you digital flowers by the dozens!

PD Artist 9.1? not
quite yet
With all the buzz and activities for PD Howler
9.1, we haven't had much time to update PD Artist.
We're now looking at possibly releasing a 9.1
udate for PD Artist. It's in testing. Can't tell
you exactly how long it will be or if it even will
be 9.1.... sometimes things keep moving along for
Howler and we end up doing a later update, like we
did around 8.1/8.2... but who knows what the
future will bring?
If you use PD Artist 9.0, stay tuned. Hopefully
we'll have good news for you soon. In the
meantime, keep on enjoying v9.0
If you're new to PD Artist and didn't know the
difference between the Artist and the Howler
editions, there are mainly two differences: Artist
is cheaper than Howler, but Artist doesn't do
animations or video work. (with one exception: you
can still load an image sequence or avi file into
the animbrush and paint with it!).
We usually develop Howler first. It's the
superhero of Dogwaffles. PD Artist is a subset of
Howler.
Also, if you've come to realize that it was nice
saving a few bucks with Artist but you're now
ready to upgrade to the full-featured big brother,
PD Howler, you can get a strong discount for doing
so. You can also use the same discount to switch
from an earlier version such as PD Artist 8 to PD
Howler 9. Interested? Just ask!
