SmoothDraw
NX
Well never fear, ScrapStreet is here again with
another free program for your scrapping
pleasure. This is a simple but very intuitive
program that, like ArtRage, is useful for design
and use in combination with your other more
powerful programs, such as Photoshop and
Paintshop.
Simple it may be, but it packs a punch for use
as a design tool. It has a smooth simple
interface that a allows you to enjoy just
drawing or painting as if it were your drawing
board in front of you. Kids love it as the icons
make it simple to swap between pencils, paint,
ink, tubes, and a plethora of brushes. A lot of
fun to make your own paint strokes or painted
frames, plus the added ability to work with
different filters if you want to experiment.
Completely free and free to pass on as well, as
long as not sold for gain. SmoothDraw is a lot
of fun and loads up in seconds, which has to be
a bonus to those of us with slower machines.
If you don't have a graphic tablet, then
SmoothDraw enables you to use a mouse. The
software makes compensation for the more erratic
strokes made with the use of a mouse by the less
practiced, so that even a first timer can make a
smooth drawing and feel proud of their
accomplishments. It saves in all the usual
formats (png, jpeg, gif, tiff and bmp). It
doesn’t, that I can see, support layers, but
that is hardly a problem when you can import the
formats into Photoshop and finish the job of
layering there.
