...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.

IMNSHO, everyone should obtain and learn to use a vector graphics tool.

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,

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.

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.

Have you tried EGD yet?...still MS beta. It's very cool; raster &
vector...nice.

I tried it when it was Microsoft [Creature House] Expression, and it was
rather interesting. I personally wouldn't choose it over CorelDraw, though,
for the things I need to do.
