A New Project

    I am starting a project for a friend.  It involves Incorporating drawn objects in an existing photograph. I am using Adobe CS2 which includes Photoshop 9 and the equivalent version of Adobe Paint.  Now I am not very happy with the paint program.  In my opinion it's not very versatile.  What I am going to use instead is the Draw application on Open Office by Sun Microsystems.  I like it for two reasons.  One, It does every thing that I want it to with a graphic user interface (GUI) that is pretty intuitive.  And two,  the whole suite of programs is absolutely 100% free!  You can't get a better deal than that can you?
    I've used the word processor and it performs as well as any I've used.  The other programs, other than Draw that is, I've spent little time with so I don't have an opinion on those as yet.  Are there any drawbacks?  Well, yes there are.  The first one is that Draw works by working on a development file extension that doesn't translate to other like applications and I'm sure that I'll find other drawbacks as well.  I am also sure that I will find work arounds to get what I want out of it.
    In my next post I will get started on the project so for now I'll leave you with the link to the download page for Open Office Suite.  I highly recommend it. It will also be on the sidebar.
