Editing Programs

dont go cheap. if you have a mac i would go with photoshop and illustrator from adobe. also might think of corel draw

cheap and quality are two words that dont go together.

LOL. I co-sign the Photoshop and Illustrator recommendation. Definitely not cheap, but in my opinion, they're the best. The other possibility is Corel Suite which has a vector application, Corel Draw, and a raster application, Photopaint, and the total cost is less than the cost of just photoshop. Corel Suite is around $429.00. The price is right, but lacks some key tools that I use daily for tee shirt design and color separations work.

corel if your just doing spot color stuff. photoshop and illy if your going to be doing full color stuff, process, and simulated process stuff

Hello all,

This is my first post. I'm just starting in the t-shirt industry and am looking for a cheap quality program to edit my art. I have a Mac Book Pro. Any recommendations?

LOL. There's a famous Chinese saying, "Good things not cheap. Cheap things not good."

I've yet to come across ancient sayings on open source software though Try inkscape.org

i agree about photoshop/illustrator and corel... they cost money but are great...
but if you don't have or wan't to spend the money...
inkscape(vectors like illustrator) and gimp(like photoshop)
Inkscape. Draw Freely.
GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Programhttp://www.inkscape.org

Yay for adobe master collection!
