need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers
...and what you want to do with the results. If you create a pixel-based
graphic and want to enlarge later, you have to pixellate or recreate from scratch. No such problems with vector graphics. Or, export it as a wmf. Mike IMNSHO, everyone should obtain and learn to use a vector graphics tool. |

need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers
Mike Koewler was very recently heard to utter:
Or, export it as a wmf. Export a raster file as a WMF? How will that help? (I meant creating a raster file in a paint application, rather than rendering a raster version of a vector file) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers
Ed,
I do very, very little design work. Maybe once a year or so. I needed a logo for the fair, one that would be placed at various sizes, depending on the need. I used text and a tif image with transparency, all done in PagePlua. I exported that as a wmf, which is scalable without degradation, even at 500 percent.

The text should not degrade, but the image would pixellate. You can't information from nowhere (but I'm sure you know that). I'm guessing it's just the resolution of the TIF image used. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

need to draw clock face w/letters not numbers
The trial is not crippled. I liked it enough to buy, and never use
Illustrator much anymore. At first the gui looked too simple, but it's very powerful but easy easy to learn! Actually, I bought it because of the sexy voiced lady that does the voice overs for the movie tutes. :-) Its also priced right.

I personally wouldn't choose it over CorelDraw, though, for the things I need to do. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |
