Re: Drawing programs

Ever since AppleWorks (and its drawing component) have officially gone away,
and the old versions of it started being problematic under OSX 10.5, we've
been starting to use EazyDraw for drawing (not painting, that's something
different). I say "starting to use" because I'm still getting the hang of it
myself.

As far as painting is concerned, we have Graphic Converter, which I suppose
you could use as a paint program, but which I've been using as the "poor
person's Photoshop."

Both programs are relatively inexpensive. We got a site license for EazyDraw
for about $250, and I think we paid about the same for Graphic Converter.
The difference is that I believe that we have a true site license for
EazyDraw, while with GC we have a license for 20 copies, which is the most I
ever expect to have running at the same time, and quite frankly, I haven't
even seen 14 running concurrently.

Check them both out at:
