eyedropper accuracy?
I run Freehand MXa 11 in Windows XP in Vmware Fusion 6 for OS X Mavericks. Is this a bug or is the eye dropper just really inaccurate on small shapes? I've been handling this problem for a long while now, usually I just zoom in to grab a color, but I've just decided to ask about it. Here is what it ...

Freehand can be Free
If you buy the physical Windows Freehand MX box from Adobe, it comes with a Win CD and a Mac/Win CD. I've seen a bunch of these second Mac/Win CD's on eBay for the full Freehand price. It's pretty sneaky, but I don't think it's illegal, because you are selling your own property. I'm keeping both my ...

Re: Your feedback for the Adobe presentation
I can't warm up to the MS-Paint-like paint-bucket dumper multi-cliking in Illustrator, I like to drag&drop the color from the mixer panel or drag&drop (one click, not two) with the FH eyedropper tool from bitmaps and vectors.

Re: Extended Path Features
You are brave for trying to recreate all the features of Freehand. Some of the Freehand things I use most: • I like to paste bitmap images directly into the console, so I can use the trace tool upon them. It doesn't make a good trace, but I find it's perfect for making complex shapes which I can the...

Re: Freehand Illustrator?
Then I'm out the cost of 2 packs of smokes. I tried Inkscape. I didn't much care for it. Nothing is like Freehand. My college programmed me to use Freehand, and now I can't get along with any alternative. I should have looked at the screenshots on eBay and seen a similarity to Inkscape. Open source ...

Re: After years of using Freehand
Every time I try Illustrator, I get sick. I had high hopes when they added the like-Freehand option, something like CS3 or CS4, but it's not Freehand. I need the drag and drop eyedropper, the CMYK slider mixer, all the easy tools like trace click and 3D-lens, and all the glorious tools I take for gr...

Re: Snow Leopard has become Apples Win XP
I did notice after reading about the lawsuit that Macromedia Freehand jumped from $40 to $399. ok, wtf? They even got cute on Adobe store and gave it a box Creative Suite icon, even though it's still FH11. When was FH ever $40 at Adobe? The best I've seen is $99 for an upgrade...is this the USA sto...

Re: Snow Leopard has become Apples Win XP
The Rosetta Freehand on Snow Seopard is buggy, like reversed jumpy mousewheel and no aliasing in export. It's better to run the Windows version in Virtualbox emulator. Also, what is the deal with this $100,000 goal, are we paying off your student loan? I did notice after reading about the lawsuit th...
