Out of curiosity, I'm curious as to the sources for clip art people are using for logo modifications and what programs they work with.
As for me, I'm using Corel Draw 9 (CD9) and vector graphics supplied with CD9 and CD4 for all my logos - with the exception of the Las Vegas Vice one where I swiped from Showgirls. In this program I do the primary work of laying out, scaling and modifying. I like to work with vector based because there is no distortion when scaling.
From here, I export to Corel Paint where I do the finishing touches such as inserting jpgs or bmps and apply the logos created in CD. After this I add the effects - beveling being the current addiction .... - mainly using Eye Candy 400. BUT, I have to export to PaintShop Pro to create jpgs that I can post. Corel Paint does something wonky that prevents them from being translated correctly.
And that's all I do.
I'd like to learn more about how to use PaintSHop Pro, even have the guide but due to a lack of time and a comfortable level of familiarity with Corel Paint, I just haven't done it. Anyone have opinions on CP versus PaintShop?
Anyone else have secrets they're willing to share.
