the best program to make decals

[commdr_neyo]

what is the best program to make decals? I make mine with Paint.net but are there any other free and good programs for making decals?

which do you use?

I'm sorry I can't give you personal insight on any of them, but I have been told that there are some quite good free programs. For example, Paint.net (I see you already know this, but it might interest some other EBers ) and Gimp (actually, one of my colleques at work uses it; I saw it once and doesn't seem too user-friendly to me, but maybe you just need to get accuasomed to its interface ) are both non-vector programs; Serif Draw Plus 4.0 I don't know if it is vectorial or not.

Personally, I use mainly CorelDraw (version 9.0 seems to be the best one, not yet complicated as the latest releases) and to a lesser extent Photoshop (allows you to apply filters and other options that are not present in Corel, but it is seldom needed for most of standard-style decals).

In the end, whatever you end using, the best option for this kind of graphic job is a vectorial program, which allows you to change the lines without having to totally re-draw them

Hope this helps

I reccomend Photoshop - it's the most expensive, but it's also the best.

Another option is Inkscape, a free and open source vector graphics editor.

I guess you should just try out some different programs and find whichever suits your needs best
