I posted a similar question a month or so ago about
Corel-Draw vs. Micrografix Designer vs. Arts & Letters Graphics Editor.
I received ONE response, from an real-live graphics illustrator, who
basically said "it does about everything I would want to do. I like it."
There is a brand-new book out on using Corel-Draw (blessed by C-D, too).
Name escapes me, but I picked it up at a local B. Dalton Software outlet.
I bought it, and read it, but I'm still not convinced it's MY choice.
One of the (my perceived) problems, it that for speed, C-D does all of
it manipulations via wire-frame: you pop-up another, non-editable window
to review the "colorized" version.
In Micrografix, you can design in either wire or solids. I've had a
chance to play around with Micrografix Draw, but I wasn't exactly blown
over by it, either. Maybe I'm looking for too much?
If anyone has used Arts&Letters, I would like to hear from them.
