Choose your tool: Vector images
Posted: 29/09/2011 Filed under: graphics Leave a comment »For those of you that can remember it I spent many years using Corel Draw, in fact, it was second nature to me to just open it and do a lot of things. Then it went away on the mac, leaving the very expensive Adobe Illustrator or the very cheap (Free) INKSCAPE, neither of which I quite get along with.
So, when trying to do a fast image for a page on the p3docs website I always find myself reaching for the mac-only OmniGraffle. It is not perfect and it is rather expensive for what it does, but it is the fastest way that I have found to produce a good looking vector image and render it to a PNG that I have found.
If you only need a few images you can probably get away with the 14-day trial, then if you choose to use it, purchase it when the app is making money.
