    Graphics Software

    Anyone know of a free / shareware graphics programme. I just need to do some basic graphic shapes (rounded rectangles, triangles) for a site and don't have software installed to do it on this machine.

    I've tried, GIMPShop, Paint.Net, OpenOffice Draw but can't find anything that'll let me create a new object of defined height / width, draw some simple shapes and then save them as gifs.

    Anyone know of any?

    If you wanted to know Photoshop stuff I could definately help you out, but I have to admit that I've gotten so used to it, that I don't know any cheap alternatives out there. Glad you managed to find something. Good luck on that

    That's good, it would be great to see what you're doing when you're finished.

    But if you ever nee any assistance in Photoshop, I'm your man

    Best of luck!

    Paint.net allows you do specify height and width on a new object. It has rounded rectangles, and triangles are easy enough.
