I mean, sure, anyone can download it without much trouble (and they know lots of people do, but basically turn a blind eye), still it is something Adobe made available for users that have purchased CS2 licenses during the Bronze Age. OK, yes, you could download the Adobe CS2, or simply Illustrator CS2 from Adobe (you would have to create a free Adobe ID for that), BUT technically it is not a freebie, as they clarify in this article. IMO, a vector editor is more practical for what you want to do in the long run. I also have got a XPPen Deco Fun drawing tablet that I use it to Edit and. OK, PS and GIMP technically can deal with vectors as well (after all, that’s what fonts are: vectors), but that is NOT their main strength, and the end product is normally a bitmap.Īnyway, this Web site explains the difference of raster vs. If you can use Gimp (or Krita or Inkscape) for artwork then you gain all the. If you were to trace the glyphs with a bitmap program, and were later to scale the image up, you will end with a blurry image (the bigger, the more blurry, since the program has to extrapolate for pixels that don’t exist). The advantage of using Illustrator and other vector editing programs (like Inkscape and Serif DrawPlus Starter) for this particular task you describe is that, unlike bitmaps (which are basically dots, or pixels), vector drawings are geometric formulas, meaning that you can magnify or reduce the image without loss in quality.
The thing with Photoshop, the GIMP, and Paint.NET is that they are mainly bitmap (or raster) editing programs.
