Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
There's some version of Freehand that will work under OSX on the Mac. The shop in Daytona I work at some uses it almost exclusively. The artist they use for their hot rod art still uses Freehand. I don't know if this is something that's been jerry-rigged post-Adobe, or if Adobe has made some unpublished accommodations, but it seems there's a Freehand fanbase out there using it on current operating systems (on the Mac side, anyway).This is the site of the artist who does a lot of their work. He used to be on staff, and he recently did the Turkey Run art for the shop:http://www.adamicenogle.comMaybe anyone interested could contact him and get the skinny on it.
No Prob. chadwick. We just a little esplain'n to do. No harm, no foul.Sbrem.Scott from MySeps probably needed to ask the questions (as I did early on) due to working at larger shops previously that for the most part had never heard of Corel Draw. My first 10 years in the business until freelancing much more, I had never used and probably never heard of Corel Draw other than hearing about Painter. The larger shops are typically prone to having customers that deal directly with art departments that have used Illustrator and Photoshop and run on Macs. A large shop can run all PC and all Corel just as easily for recieving files from inside your own art department, but as we know, receiving files from all sorts of company's on the outside, you tend to go where the majority of your file are coming from.10-15 years ago, I was stumbling around trying to figure out how to save my files for Corel and never owning one till the last few years, I was never 100% sure what I was doing was the most efficient. I had to go by what customers receiving my files told me of their experiences using the file. All in all, this seemed to be the most common method that worked.Businesses like design houses in large company's and ad agencies. They all predominately use Adobe products. I'm not arguing the reasons why. They just do. With that said, while Corel is a good program especially for screen printers, it's still not widely recognized by the design world. It's growing in popularity and is indeed a great program. Maybe one day, it will also be embeded into half of the those types of businesses. Most all again, use Adobe products and most are on Macs. I say "most". I'm sure we have exceptions. This has been that way for decades but Corel is expanding it's territory fast.
