www.e-sword.net Free Photo and Drawing Software
Serif Corp., a leader in low-cost graphics software, offers
fully functional copies of older versions of its software free. Of course, they hope you will like it so much
that you will pay to upgrade to the current version, but you don't have to. You can continue to use the older
stuff without paying. It is very good software, and it's fairly easy to learn and use. I particularly like
Draw Plus, and I use it all the time (I upgraded to the current version, and I'm glad I
did)
- DrawPlus - Create drawings, logos and animations. This is an amazing program for creating
artwork. I use it all the time.
- PhotoPlus - Photo editing software - I use this quite often. It has many of the features of
PhotoShop without the high price. This one is easier to learn than the free graphics software packages below,
but it lacks some of the more powerful features. Most people never learn or use those other features,
anyway.
- PagePlus - Desktop publishing software. Use it for all types of documents including
labels.
- 3DPlus - Create 3D images. I've tried it, but I don't use it.
- WebPlus - Create web sites without learning HTML.
