Mike Ryan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Open office is a freeware solution to Microsoft Office. I dont know where you got the clue that it was a free graphics editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k.digennaro Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 sorry guys, i like to experiment with different programs, this is not one i suggest. For anything! Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah, OpenOffice come with Draw, Impress, Math, Writer, Base, and Calc. Fairly handy when you don't feel like paying for Microsoft Office (even though I can get it for $30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 If I remember correctly, OOo Draw is a vector editor, not a raster like Paint.NET is, so there really is no comparison. And if you are in the habit of recommending programs, vector in particular, then you must try out Inkscape. Also, why are you apologising for using other graphic applications? CMD is an avid GIMP user, many use Inkscape and Chaoscope, Rick even has Photoshop for comparative reasons, so there's no need to apologise for being like the rest of us .

Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 If you have four hundred dollars to drop I recommend getting Corel Graphics Suite X4. My business requires Corel Draw. Either way though, Corel Draw and Photopaint are very powerful and worth the money imo. I often open up my works in Photopaint to smudge here or there :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.digennaro Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 hmmmm, im getting ready to get a new pc, and im going to use it mainly for drawing, im going to get a wacom, and maybe look into investing some money into a graphic program^^ ill check that one out Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Corel DRAW is prob the best vector editor on the planet and will work beautifully for your hand drawings. Photopaint is also very powerful and easy to use. My recommendation is towards Corel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I have Photoshop, Gimp, Chaoscope, Terregan. But I seem always to fall back on PdN. Lets all make Rick happy and give a thanks to him.

I do laser engraving for a living and my Epilog currently supports CDR file types, so I am pretty much benched to that. But I was really reffering to Corel Graphics Suite X4 more than anything else.
