What about !Draw on RISC OS 3, that is pretty good vector based app

My work is at a photography studio where I handle bitmapped based graphics all the time. I am always retouching and doing things bitmap wise. But photoshop can still do some decent vector stuff, and quality is not lost at any scale. This only works for text and shapes though. But overall, I think photoshops a GREAT program

I'll try that vector prog you have...I think your works pretty damn good MrForsythExeter btw

why thank you, Its meant to have the fastest on screen refresh rate, and the new one Xara X1 redraws in retime as you move objects and change greadients!! I used to love Draw on the RISC OS, Would turn my monitor upside down, and try and draw a star, hours of fun!!!

P.S The only think i think you will find with Xara X is professional printers don't like to work with it for digital printing, often end up exporting the lines and shapes in .ai and the bitmaps in TIFF (300 DPI) so they can work with them. if you are doing press printing it will do CMYK TIFF splits with no problems, just costs loads to get the plate done in the first place.

we do all our printing

Epson 9600...pretty sweet printer. But Like I said, I don't do vector much so I probably wont use xara x in the work place. but it looks good for this kind of stuff! i used xara3d back in the day and i thought it was cheesy as hell. looks like they came a long way.

xara3d is still cheesy as hell trust me, just this product was first made by Corel, now i think a third party own it and Corel have like CorelDraw 10 or something now (but still a post office, local church type program)

Will window clings be made available? I'm not sure about other people but I dont paticulary want to put stickers on the paint of the car - Though I do want to give our community some publicity.

Vinyl stickers stick great to windows... anything smooth pretty much!

The competition is getting tough. Ehh, I gave it a shot. The compressed jpg version looks kinda blurry as compared to the .psd I have on my hard drive. If chosen, the 300dpi hires version can be sent off. Hope for the best. Good luck everyone! *sigh*
