![]() Inkscape is I think the leading open source vector drawing app. will be a mix - you won't get the same specialized selection as you do in PCMP. Corel sells a home version of their flagship CorelDraw! suite, & either that or their full versions can more than do the job, though templates etc. on-line in formats that they'll work with. Many word processors can work with both images/pictures & vector graphics, & there's usually loads of free clipart etc. If OTOH you want to do the design & printing from your PC/laptop, there are lots of alternatives, though not all of them will be as easy as using PearlMountain's PCMP. That said, nowadays printing your project is not as necessary as it was years ago, & if/when you do need prints, it's very often more cost effective to have it done through one of the services on-line or in stores, once you consider sale pricing, free offers, the cost of ink & better paper etc., & if you're going that route you can usually design your collage or other project as part of the service, no installed software required. Many printers will do an OK job with it, but it's not going to be the same quality that you'd get with higher rez artwork &/or vector graphics. Picture Collage Maker Pro is a pretty nice app with the limitation that it works with regular rasterized images rather than vector art for things like frames, & the included artwork is low rez - that makes it cool for digital viewing, not as good for printing. But again, this is for more biz oriented stuff - for many the prices may not be realistic for home use. If you're on a tight budget you can sometimes find older versions of Corel Draw! for a much better price, & also check out the actual requirements for upgrade installs. already, but want to do pro biz versions of the projects Picture Collage Maker Pro create, & much more, you might want to check them out. Illustrator is perhaps king of the hill, while Corel Draw! is much more accessible for average humans, & includes loads of artwork & templates. Vector graphics are harder to work with, create, & edit, & vector graphics apps have seen a bit of a decline in popularity since their smaller graphics/image file sizes became much less of an issue years ago. More sober themes like you'd expect at work are usually part of or available for the apps you'd use at work, like Office. In my experience & FWIW graphics/imaging pros are not going to use templates, so most graphics apps that include them are going to be more consumer oriented, meaning themes more appropriate for grandma & grandpa than any office. Just a quick note in case it helps those looking for more pro-type results. ![]()
