in my role as an artist, I come across a lot of software that I use for my works. Sometimes they’re good, other times, it makes you wonder what the bother was worth.

It’s nothing exactly groundbreaking: I’ve owned copies of Ultra Fractal in the past, and they’re pretty good. So what does Amberlight do differently?

What am I talking about?
I think I’ll let blogger, comic artist and convention runner (and friend) Oni Hartstein say it for me, since she already verbalized it so eloquently (reposted with her permission, after the break):
