Today my main workstation started acting odd and I am debating a full install. If I do I am going to try latest Mac OS. Its ok not my Server running Indigo but it is the computer a design all my graphics in. I always used Fireworks but my current version is 32 bit and is going to go end of life when I upgrade.

My question is what does everyone else use to edit and make PNG files.

I quite enjoy Pixelmator. I’m most certainly not a graphics pro, but for my mediocre skills it works well!

I use Acorn and Art Text 3, along with Powerpoint and Keynote (used to make all of my buttons in Powerpoint!)

Ahhh, FIreworks may it RIP. I was one of the first developers on Fireworks 1.0 (I actually proposed the idea of creating it) and led the engineering team for several years on it. Too bad it was outsourced and then put out to pasture.

Nah.. if it’d carried on you wouldn’t have created indigo. And then we’d all be suffering with homeseer or smartthings or something!

If you're talking about creating backgrounds for control pages, between Pixelmator, Pages, Keynote and Preview I have everything I need.

I use Pixlr - free online photo editor that does everything I need. Works better in Firefox than in Safari.

I've started using Affinity Designer. It's featureful, reasonably priced, and has a gentle learning curve.

I especially like that you can make a number of elements on a single page, and export each layer as a separate PNG.

I use Photoshop myself but regardless of how you make them I highly recommend shrinking them
at a site called Tiny Png. It’s free and really speeds up control page load times.
