I hope I am not repeating a post somewhere, but what graphic design software are you using for your skis and snowboards?

Anyone have a good video tutorial on creating their top sheet designs?

thanks

I use a combo of Inkscape ( free vector graphic software) and photoshop elements (70 bucks anywhere).
But I just got the entire Adobe creative suite. So I'm gonna be busy for a while learning all that stuff.

Inkscape is good for quick design planning and layout but I find if I print from it direct the layers don't always scale properly.
That being said I use it as my primary design tool.
I also use paintshop pro. It's a bit bloated but works with pretty much any format you'll need.

Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop is the way to go! Takes some time to learn but its worth it..

Another vote for Inkscape.

Free is a price point I can accept, and it's not too hard to work with.

GIMP is also free

Adobe illustrator is the way to go for sure, tough to learn but has limitless potential.

+1 to this.

It's just like taking the time to learn a proper CAD program. Proper Tools for the job.
