Hi folks, I've just tried to install my tried, true, and tested (and about 10+ years old) CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12 and failed my saving throw on Windows 7.  A quick internet search shows CD 12 does not work with Vista/Win 7 (last o/s I had was Win XP). So… can anyone make a recommendation of any free drawing software that might do the same sort of stuff I've used Corel PhotoPaint for which is: * Resizing with our withour anti-aliaising * Gamma correction * Colour correction * Creation of gifs, including animated gifs * Masking in various shapes, including freehand * Masking by colour selection Those are the main things I do when massaging photos for my web sie down to a manageable file size (less that 150 kb) instead of just posting ridicuouslky huge 2 meg images. Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions,

GIMP is free and very good, and can do just about anything.

Graphic Workshop and GIF Construction Set both offer free "evaluation versions" – not sure how limited they are. I should add: GIMP does have a good rep though. |

Far be it for me to discourage anyone trying to stay up to date, but C12 will run in Windows 7 using compatability mode. I had to do that to pull info from some old files. |

I'm going to look at GMIP and porobably Gnome too, but Cory, what did you do? I tried comnpatibility mode as per link But these didn't work – I did not try the regedit approach.

If compatibility mode doesn't work you could use a virtual machine. Virtual PC has a seamless mode so you don't even have to launch the virtual system first. |
