A freely available software for illustrations for those who cannot afford the paid software

You can both create an illustration and edit a previous illustration that you made in power point or someone else. It is freely available. The Panmode option is cool, it enables you to move the page around.

Great program to create or edit vector graphics.

sK1 has all the tools and features most people need to edit or create vector graphics. The program was written by an expert in the area of vector graphics and is both well laid out and easy to use. The fact it is released under a GPL v3 license makes it even better.

There are still a few updates that Sk12 needs to bring it to full speed

My best like of this program is that I can do the vector graphics as good OR better than I could in Corel Draw. I have used Corel since version 2 and liked it very much. However, the cost of updates did drive me wild! Now with Sk1 I can again do the vector graphics in the format that I love. There are some upgrades that need to be looked into to make it completely compatible (or better) than Corel. Need to be able to copy a graphic and paste or import it into this program. But it is a good start.

What is sK1 Project?

sK1 Project is an open-source software initiative focusing on developing high-quality graphic applications, particularly catering to prepress and professional publishing needs. The project's most notable product is the sK1 2.0 vector graphics editor, which is uniquely engineered to offer full support for professional color management, crucial for the printing industry. This includes features like CMYK color support and rich color palettes from various color systems.Central to sK1's innovation is its pioneering support for importing and exporting complex vector graphics formats not commonly handled by other popular graphic editors, such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and Xara Xtreme. It also supports PostScript, PDF, and the standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format, further extending its utility in professional settings.One of the standout features of the sK1 Project is its approach to color management that integrates color profiling and uses an ICC (International Color Consortium) profile interface to maintain color accuracy across different devices. This is particularly important for maintaining consistent branding and professional print output quality.Another unique feature of sK1 is its use of a universal CDR (CorelDRAW) importer, which is reverse-engineered to be more comprehensive than the native support found in other open-source projects. This makes sK1 a valuable tool for opening and converting proprietary file formats in a free and open-source environment.
