Depending on your needs consider also Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, and of course for typesetting the various forms of TeX. All but Gimp will handle CMYK. I am having some fun doing a cover for an e-book using various tools. Thus far I have two TeX versions (quite different), a Gimp version and an Inkscape version. I'll work on a Scribus version next. See: http://typebye.com/test2.html Which cover does the list prefer? I'll try to duplicate it in Scribus. The four covers were done using three different tools: 1. Tex (context), 2, Gimp, and 3. Inkscape. Who can match covers 1 through 4 with the correct tool? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
