great but esoteric August 9, 2008
Mac Believer (illinois)
"So you are going to buy a Mac?"
"Yah. I love the way they work and the software tends to be intuitive."
"I agree, but my wife wants a graphics product and unless she is willing to buy Adobe, there isn't anything that does the job."
That is where I started when I bought a new iMac for my medical office. I wanted to use the machine to create some graphics and use it to run the business. I expected that the graphics wouldn't be a problem, but a medical office--hmmmm.
Surprisingly the business was no problem, but graphics? Think again.
Cash solves any problem, but I was trying to be frugal. Adobe, wow! Price, wow! What about the amateur? Well, a little research yielded LineForm. It did almost everything I needed and for the most part it was and is the application I need.
My only issue with the program is that I don't spend all my time creating computer graphics, so I don't commit to memory all the nuances of the software. Given ample time, I don't think LineForm would present any challenge in its interface design, but I get to it only occasionally. The power is definitely there, yet a "parttimer" doesn't have the flow at their fingertips. Normally I would go to the software help menu to answer a question about an operation, but LineForm is supported by only a meager 37 page pamphlet. A more robust discussion of the product's features still eludes me. I can use it for most of my simple needs, but the higher functions are a bit difficult to glean from trial and error alone.
I expect LineForm could be everything I need and more, at a very reasonable price, if only I didn't also have to learn cryptography.

I'm sure there are more feature rich drawing programs but I just wanted one that would allow me to manipulate text for a simple website logo and to build some texty gifs. This program was cheap and did the job though it has a couple of quirks, which you could file under mildly irritating rather than very annoying.

This is probably one of the best software products I've ever seen for the creative artist or business person. I had been trying the 30 day free trial and after a week, I had created so many logos and animated characters for my business that I couldn't wait to get the whole program. I've been able to use it in conjunction with other programs like Comic Life and even word processing programs. This program is one of the reasons I am always trying to sell my friends on Mac and why I will never use anything else. There is nothing that even comes close to this program for ease of use, adaptability and creative potential. And I can say this now that I have the program, but at twice the price, it would still be cheap for what you get. I suggest you go to their website and download the trial version first. I think you'll see what I'm saying is true.

Figured I'd submit a review since there are none here yet...
I am new to using these sorts of programs. For all my design work at home I have in the past been forced to use very ghetto programs, so this is a great upgrade. And the price is certainly right. I've used it only on a couple projects so far, in combo with the MacAlly IceCad. The program is great and does what I need it do to. I am very happy that it has decent text editing capabilities, since I do a lot of logo work. And the 'convert to bezier' and 'convert to outline' options have proven very useful. Not to mention it loads at light-speed.
I'll have to get back and update when I've been able to play around more (but there is plenty of buzz about this program on the web!).
So my verdict: Wonderful for someone who wants a fairly sophisticaed design program, but doesn't want to shell out the tons of cash most require. I'm not versed in Photoshop/Illustrator, so I can't compare to those, but it certainly stands on its own very well.
