anyone design bumper stickers?
I need to acquire (ahem) a graphics program that will allow me to use SIZEABLE lettering on a 10" x 3" image template. And don't EVEN tell me to use the GIMP. The GIMP hates me. I have lots of proof, but to dredge it up again will cause the PTSD thing. Something simple needed. Something "windows" even. Any ideas? Must be able to save images to .png format.

Help me? I'm EVER so pitiful...

1. Photoimpact will do nicely
Paint shop pro will, too, but I'm used to photoimpact.

Haven't had time to learn GIMP yet. :-(

saves to png format

I'm having trouble finding paper that'll last more than 4 months without yellowing or going brittle. My printer's ink is not the issue (Epson Stylus Photo 2200, archival pigment ink will last for a very long time outside, which is always where I keep my car!)

2. yes, paper is not the issue here
Cafepress will print 'em - I just need to upload an image to my store there.

So, er, any ideas on how a fellow might <ahem> "acquire" one of these programs?

Paint Shop Pro I've heard good things about. But not money-spending good. ;-)

3. Think of a 5-4 letter word that the RIAA doesn't like right now...
Not that I'd recommend doing this, the fuzz is out everywhere man!

4. actually, you won't believe this,
but I just found in my drawer of magic PC goodies a fully functional copy of photoshop 5.0.

We'll see what damage I can do.

Also found an old copy of "Dragon Naturallyspeaking." That could be fun to play with now that I'm no longer on a i486...

Thanks for the tips, man.
