2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par, January 29, 2005

By	A. Miller (OH, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was in college for art/graphic design, we were trained to draw on the computer using Macromedia Freehand version 9, despite being told that Adobe Illustrator was the industry standard. I really liked Freehand however and got used to it.

I now work in a company that uses Adobe Illustator CS. But I decided to give Freehand MX a try both because I had liked version 9 in college and because of the slightly lower price tag.

The new user interface is a mess. I've seen better designed looking programs that are freeware. I couldn't find several toolbars without hunting and it appears several of the features in it that I liked in version 9 that set it apart from Illustrator have been removed. The art looks choppy and rasterized. When it's saved for web it looks cloudy and murky. The user does not have the options of using any colors they wish but are forced to choose from a handful of limited and, in my opinon, mostly unattractive pre-selected shades.

These are just the few things I've found. I haven't had the patience to mess with it much more because I'm so dissatisfied with it. I hope to take advantage of the comparitive price offer Adobe offers on Illustrator CS and get it instead. It might cost more, but it's very much worth the price tag. Freehand MX is not. I'm not even sure it's worth $100, much less the almost $400-500 dollars they're asking.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING PROGRAM , January 16, 2008

By	N. Trelles "REZ101" (Los Angeles , C.A) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have no idea why another review here marks this program so low.I was just reading a special article from Computer Arts and they were reviewing the some of the worlds best Illustrators. I got it the article because the cover caught my attention the art was very detail and just phenomenal. As I read inside , on each artist review they all comment on what program they use mainly. The guy they featured on the cover did his in Free Hand.. well.. that was no surprise cause when I saw it I said to myself.. I could only pull this off if I had Freehand MX if I was to attempt to do it. And yes he stated thats all he mainly uses in his review. I said it before and I will say it again.. if you dont know how to use this program it will be useless to you. If you can draw and if you have a tablet ( which helps) this progam is AMAZING! .There is alot of things you can with FH MX that you can't with other CG programs.
