 Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2005 5:18 am Post subject: Any Birthday/Christmas/... cards creation program in Linux? |
 |
|
Is there any software that let you create your own Birthday card, invitation card, Christmas card, gift labels etc... with templates, clip arts, and photos in Linux similar to PrintMaster, PrintHouse Magic, PrintShop Pro?
I even have the DOS versions, Windows 3.1 version, and Win 9x version of those programs, but isn't there Linux programs similar to those?
I want to be able to create cards and print them within 10 minutes. Any ideas? Suggestions?

OpenOffice just wouldn't cut it. It doesn't have enough clip arts and templates (for example, it doesn't have any Christmas Card templates where as in PrintShop Pro, you have over 40 Christmas Card "Made-ready" to choose from). It is a totally different products.
And unfortunately, the graphics in the DOS programs is way too outdated. It uses 8-bps colurs, which is terrible in today's standard.

But images.google.com does.

| If you've already got the programs for DOS/Windows, why not run them under Dosbox or Wine? |
