More help needed

[NeedyPickle]

Ok, I have ordered my laser!!!!

My question is: I have been looking at Corel Draw and Photo Shop and getting very confused.

Does anyone know which version of either Corel Draw or Photo Shop I would need to get to run my laser??

I am basically wanting to engrave glass and have a cutting facility so will need software that has vector and rastor capabilities.

Hiya,

Both have the facility to do Vector and raster,

The laser is run by its own dedicated software, corel and photoshop just provide the initial files to run.


There are plugins for coreldraw but stay away from them, they can cause quite a few conflicts

best wishes

I would start off using Gimp and IrfanView if you wanted to manipulate existing jpgs for raster engraving. Both are free so would be a good start to see what functions you require most.

For vectors (cutting) use Draftsight or DoubleCad again both free.

Cheers
