[TOMT][OLD SOFTWARE]Art software I used in my elementary school computer lab during the late 2000s that ISN'T KidPix

Open

I went to elementary school in the U.S. from 2006 to 2012. Our computer lab had Macs with bulky LED screens with the thick white keyboards, like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/97/3a/94/973a949d46fdde1b7a012544fb95cb51.png

It was pre-loaded with school programs, like I Spy Fantasy. However, there's a specific art program I remember using that I cannot recall the name of, but it is NOT KidPix, Fine Artist, Crayola Art Studio... I haven't found any of those to match my memory.

The art program DID feel similar in vibe to KidPix, I think it had a green-ish UI, but it didn't have any of the stuff that I see in videos of KidPix in action. KidPix seems far more detailed, while Fine Artist and Crayola Art Studio are too bright and 2D.

Some of its features that I remember include access to various stock photos (I recall editing a picture of Mount Rushmore, there were various real photos and also clip art photos) as well as clip art maps of the U.S. states, including Guam, even, and the world's continents. It also had a symmetry brush that allowed you to create pretty wild patterns, anywhere from just one reflection to up to like, 16 or 32 reflections of the same stroke.

Sorta like KidPix, it DID have a 3D Brush, and the brush could be shaped into a square or other shapes. The "3D Brush" pretty much just copied the same image of a shaded circle over and over, like an afterimage of a mouse cursor, rather than actually painting a 3D shape.

I don't remember when I first used this program, I kinda just remember it being there the entire time I was at that school.

My memory of it runs out about there.

I also feel like I remember it being part of a series of programs on the computer? Potentially, potentially not. But if it helps...

It seems vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure if the publicly available version is different from the school computer version...

I feel like I remember something similar, especially the 3D brush part (and it being similar to KidPix). I made a post looking for my software as well, but I'm not sure if it's the same as yours. Hope you found it, and if so, that it's the same one!

I have not found it yet, unfortunately!
