As rook said something in my post I feel like it is ok for a double post.


Ok I have found a few applications that I will add soon. I'll also add what you said to add. If anyone has programs that fit what I am looking to add to this lost please reply back.

Draw Plus. http://download.cnet.com/Serif-DrawPlus/3000-2191_4-10000761.html I use it. CG uses it. Great program.

^Inkscape is good too. Legal and free.

How the heck do you get on any of these? I've tried to, but there is too much downloading and registration. I'm looking for something that you can go into without any problems.

If downloading is a problem, I don't think you'll get too far with this.

The Drawplus registration is useless. I just put 'Chaotic Good' as my company.

But yes, if you do want to get a good program, you're going to have to deal with all this stuff. There's no other way.

GIMP doesn't require it.

Nor does Paint.net!

But neither are vector programs..

GIMP? OK, I'm almost scared to try another computer program!

Heh.

But seriously, Inkscape or Drawplus look to be your best bet for this. Ignore any extra stuff, it's worth it!

GIMP is pretty darn good. It has everything I need to recolor.

Uh... Don't Microsoft computers come with a paint tool that's already downloaded? 'oh:

Yes, but that's absolutely positively crap.

Yes, but it's awful.

Torrent: Yeah, but its pure crap in a bucket.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's a really great program.

You've got a point, but I just realized, my computer is Acer. I couldn't get it if I tried.

OK thanks for the links guys. But in the future do you think it is possible to tell me what platform it works for,is it legal and is it free. Like what CG did on one of the ones he posted.

My laptop's an Acer, and I use PSE2.0 regularly.

Indeed. If it's illegal, don't post it!

I'm sure we're a law-abiding forum.

Yes thats another thing. Be legal!!


DP- Well I don't know that...

I'll add the applications in a bit.

I like Drawplus, but the trouble is I have to go to Photoplus to use the fill tool. This really ruins the quality.

I use many diffrent; paint, GIMP, Flash and even my scanner!
