[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1825938, member: 812"] You know, the Gimp has replaced PS for me. It's not QUITE there, but it's darn good. And for free you cannot beat it. Create does everything except bitmap editing. So you'll still need either Photoshop or the Gimp to do actual image editing, touching up photos or character illos or stuff like that. But Create is much more useful than any of the three apps you mentioned for creating character sheets -- it's a page layout tool that also acts as a vector-based illustration tool. Yeah, for creating character sheets, I've never encountered a program that's nearly as well-suited as Create. The sheets thumbnailed above were made ENTIRELY in Create. And Create can USE image files -- you can drag and drop any image, pdf or text file (or RTF) into a Create document and resize, apply styling, duplicate, lay out, all that, to the image itself. You just can't actually paint or smear or "Photoshop" the image at all. So I'll create the base sheet in Create, come up with a character illo in the Gimp and then stick it into the Create file overtop the "Character Image" box. Works a charm. Seriously, Create is a mind-blowing tool for the price. You will NOT regret buying it. [/QUOTE]
