Title: Need a new drawing program...
Post by: Space Cowboy on March 28, 2001, 09:10:00 pm
I'm looking for a new drawing program, preferably free, to replace the POS I currently use to draw smilies with! The one I have currently, for those who haven't noticed, draws fine, except when I have a transparent background, there's this butt-ugly line surrounding every object! Here's what I would like for a drawing program: draws well, has the ability to make an object transparent with the option of NOT making this change gradually, ability to work with sprites and polygons, undo option, comes with a good quality GIF animator, and preferably, free! I know I saw something that would fit almost all of these preferences and more posted somewhere either on this forum or on Warpstorm, but I can't remember where...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Try PhotoImpact, you can get it from  www.ulead.com ("http://www.ulead.com") . Very good program, but will only last you 30 days.

Paint Shop Pro. Evaluation period is 60 days, and after that it's just a little registry hack to get another 60, and so on.

Hay Setekh, what program are you using to draw and how much?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

If you're truly l337, you'll use MS Paintbrush...for Windows 3.1.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

When I started making graphics, we didn't have these 'color' things.....we just had black and white, and our white was orange!

Not one you can get your hands on  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) It's a program called Spire, written by my brother for Linux. I'm sick of talking about it - thanks to some curious HLP staffers, Shrike and Thunder  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
