Zoner Draw 4

[KenD]

I have just found interesting vector graphics editor called Zoner Draw 4. It is packed with lot of features, i.e. transparency, soft shadows, AI EPS, PS and CDR import and it comes also with 5000 vector cliparts for very nice price $49. Previous version Zoner Draw 3 is available for free.

For more information visit www.zoner.com

If anybody knows more about this product, please send your opinions.

I followed the link on Tucows to this site once, so I've heard of it before, but I still know nothing about it.

With an import filter for CD8 and a promised PDF export filter, it could be a great tool in a designer's arsenal. Now, if only someone could tell us more about it... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I've installed Zoner Draw 3 (the free version) and now I am testing version 4. I must say I'm very suprised.

It has a lot of features I did not expect for this price - trasparency, soft shadows, caligraphic pens, multiple copy along curve, multi-page documents, on screen CMYK separations (I didn't saw it in another applications), support for Adobe bitmap effects plugins (you can also use vector path for some filters), object operations - weld, trim, intersect etc.

Also user interface looks interesting - it's using dockable "galleries" with tabs similar to Adobe products, and alternative toolbar - so you have all available options in one place.

Sure we can not compare it let's say to CDR10 but for what I need it is good enough for a good price. I think we will hear about this company and their products very soon :-).
