[comp.sys.mac.apps] DeskPaint/DeskDraw

  Hi.  I have been recently looking into Zedcor's DeskPaint/DeskDraw combo
as a possible upgrade to my current drawing program.  I currently own
SuperPaint 2.0, but have become rather dissatisfied by it's performance in
several areas.

  If you own or have worked with DeskPaint/DeskDraw 3.01, please send me
your opinions of the programs.  I am specifically concerned with the
following areas:

 - Speed, especially on the Mac SE and LC machines
 - Performance and memory handling
 - Bezier or Smooth-curve editing capabilities
 - Object grouping and manipulation capabilities
 - Patterned & graduated fills
 - Text handling and features
 - Free-rotation, skewing, special effects
 - Enlarge/reduce;  multiple copies of objects
 - Airbrush (NOT spray-can)

  If you've also worked with SuperPaint 2.0 before, I'm interested in how
you think the two compare.

  If you're interested, Zedcor currently has a trade-up policy (effective
until Jan. 31)  They are accepting a large variety of Drawing & Painting
programs (original disks) + $49 to upgrade to DeskPaint/DeskDraw 3.01.  Just
check out their ad in a recent MacUser.

  Please send all replies via mail rather than replying to the net - I may be
unable to check in the next few days and my News program only saves a couple
days.

  Thanks.
