That's a matter of taste -- I use Gimp for prepping my photos for exhibits, and find it not awkward at all. Photoshop on the other hand confuses me:) > Inkscape is a fork of Sodipodi but it boasts much more features and it > is more consistent. Inkscape is much more of a vector drawing program than a diagramming program like Visio and Dia, so it won't (for a while at least) fill that niche. That's also why I'm not in a hurry to add hatch fills and shadings and such to Dia, that's not what Dia is about. What I need to look into now is Inkscape's text rendering, for it is vastly superior to Dia's. Thank you for clueing me in to that. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
