Re: Illustrator vs. Freehand

Comments:
: : Try Freehand as the previous person suggests. I have : : worked with both and prefer Illustrator. I work on : : a Mac and enjoy Illustrator 6. I can't imagine living : : without plug-ins. They make my work much easier and : : allow me to do things that would not be possible : : otherwise. I recommend switching to a Macintosh and : : getting the best of both worlds, Illustrator and : : plug-ins. : Of course FreeHand supports plug ins too : (called Xtras in FreeHand land). Some Xtras : that have been recently released (or are coming : very soon) on the Windows platform are MetaTools' : Vector Effects Macromedia Edition, Trailer Parc's : insta.HTML (for turning FreeHand pages into : web pages [with HTML, GIFs, JPEGs, etc.]), : Avenza's MAPublisher (for mapping) and : BeInfinite's Infinite FX. : FreeHand 7, which just started shipping a new : version in October for Windows and Mac at the same : time, is really the best dual platform solution around. : FreeHand is the only application of its kind that : ships new versions with the same functionality : on both Mac and Windows at the same time. : (Yes, I too work for Macromedia and am a little : biased, but many reviewers agree too!) : More info available on Macromedia's site at : www.macromedia.com. : Joel Dreskin : Macromedia
