Default seems like a lot more than i need

There is so much on this software that I won't use. Is there any other program that only has what I'll need to design my shirts...just shirts. Why pay so much money if I won't use half of what it offers?

There are two FREE programs you could use. Inkscape is a vector program and can export to formats that screenprinters can use.

Then there's Gimp, a raster program.

Keep in mind that these are totally free to use, but have fewer features that you MIGHT need.

Good luck!

Fulltank....

ebay... whatever for Coreldraw 9

It's a stable version with practically no headaches and is dirt cheap. Down the road you can upgrade possibly. Avoid Inkscape if poss.

**Say... i wonder... Another guy bought & brought v9 to our job back when v9 came out. He installed @ work. Well... he no longer works with us for like 5years. It was never reg'd and there's no receipt. Boss has no clue of this software. Who's is it now? It was used throughout the years.

Hi Ronnie,

I'd always recommend CorelDRAW over Inkscape, but why should someone AVOID Inkscape? There are quite a few happy Inkscape users here on these forums.
