Suggested 2D App ? 2004-07-25 - By Allen Cobb
Back I use CorelDraw 12 (which may explain why they can't support 8 anymore!) and still find it to be the most flexible and useful of all the vector drawing programs. I use Photoshop CS for paint/photography work, although Corel PhotoPaint is still an extraordinarily powerfull app (and much easier to learn than Photoshop -- fewer completely hidden secret commands). Version 12 is the most robust version Corel has ever released, imho, and has tons of very convenient features. When making montages of photos or other bitmaps, I always end up doing it in CorelDraw, because of the flexibility -- there are always several ways to accomplish something, and often it's so convenient (compared to Illustrator, etc.) that I end up laughing out loud. It's really a brilliant app, hampered only by the occasional clumsiness of its publisher. Corel is under new management now, and appears to be re-focusing on their core products (they've divested just about everything but the Draw and Office suites). I can't recommend CorelDraw highly enough -- even though I've been using it since 1.0 it never ceases to amaze me.
hth,

My first and only 2D App was Corel 8,but I can't get in options and the color,brightness is all wrong and can not fix it. when I emailed Corel they said we don't support that version any more. My response to that was ...well can't say that here.
Anyways I just need to crop, resize,convert from .tga to .jpg etc etc more or less just edit .jpgs to post on Forms,Atomic-3 (See http://mic-3.ora-code.com)D.
I spend all my time with 3D related App's I know there our alot of 2D App but I don't know much about them. All I ever here about is Adobe but ant that a bit much for editing .jpg for the web. So what do I need ?
