Designing sentiment stamps, software?????

[sc magnolia]

I'm looking for software to design digital greetings and sentiments. No, not word processing. Need lots of fonts and ability to form text into shapes like circles etc.

Know of any????

You could try Photoshop Elements. Its a good basic graphics software. Depending on where you get it and whether its on sale, you could get the program for as little as about $50, but its usually under $100. As for the fonts, it doesn't come with fonts other than some of the Adobe fonts, but there are thousands of free fonts you can download from any of the fonts sites like dafont or 1001freefonts. If you still have the installation disc from the software you were using, you could pull the font files from it and put them on your computer. Then you would have the ones you liked available for all your programs.

Thanks. I have Elements and the full Photoshop as well. I know how to use them for photos, but not designing text. I did get a nice one done this morning, but when I went to print it, it looked weird. I'll have to study up on it I guess.

You might need to look at a vector graphics program like Illustrator or Corel Draw. This will reduce any pixelation issues in your finished item from what I understand.

Here is a link to a freebie. Inkscape. Draw Freely. (I've heard of this one before and believe it to be trustworthy - think GIMP/GNU)

I also stumbled up this one (no idea what the company is like). Free Graphic Design Software – DrawPlus Starter Edition from Serif
