JASC paint shop pro. A lot cheaper than adobe, but still has tons and tons of features. - plus if
you don't mind setting your computer clock back every time you start it up, you can keep on using
the full featured trial version
I think its www.jasc.com, but google it if not.

I was going to say the same thing. http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro/. Well worth the $79 I
use mine all the time.

If you have a linux box available, the gimp would fit the bill perfectly.

I've tried zillions of image manipulation programs. Free and paid.
My recs, in this order: PaintShop Pro Adobe Elements GIMP
PaintShop Pro is quite good...maybe 90% of Photoshop. Many, many tutorials online. Trialware at
www.jasc.com Adobe Elements is evidently a cutdown version of Photoshop. I've not used it, but
supposedly it's good.
The last is free/OS, but weird/different. Takes some getting used to. There is a Windows version.

Yes, PSP is the one I use, too. Another good option if you're looking for entertainment is Kai's
Power Goo & Fusion. You can stretch people's faces out or meld two photos together to make your
relatives even freakier than they already are. Hours of fun.

There's a version for Windows, too: http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html
I haven't tried it. Mostly use Paint Shop Pro or Ulead Photoimpact (which can be found for
around $10).

Cool!

If it's anything like the linux version (and I can't imagine why it wouldn't be), it's good stuff.
Granted, though, the UI is quite a bit different than other image apps I've used.

Have you tried 'Eye Candy 4000', or 'Xenofex'? Very cool filters that works in PSP.
You can grab them both here: http://64.65.56.27/~fosi/
Just ignore those pr0n ads.

The gimp isnt that great for creating work. More for manipulating images. As the name suggests. If
your in windows then something like Adobe Fireworks may be good.

C'mon! For a great product at $79 why steal it? They are a small company and work hard for what they
get. I say DON'T get the crack of the net and buy it if you like it after the trial is up!

what the guys want to do is make "real" their hand drawn D&D maps, I s'pose Paint Shop Pro would be
good for this? Like I said, Illustrator is just "too much", and Photo Shop isn't really appropriate.

My daughter uses PSP all the time to dress up her anime drawings. It seems to work well.

Then, yes, the gimp would be good for that. Or PSP, yes.

Visio?
Or some el cheapo CAD app maybe. Something that can create and manipulate blocks/groups/shapes
(depending on the terminology).
