MacWorld Expo --January 14th, 2008 -- The fastest and easiest to use vector-drawing program for Mac OS X just got better. Freeverse is pleased to announce a new version of Lineform, their popular illustration software. We've listened to the tremendous Lineform community and are excited to be releasing version 1.5 today. This is a free update for all registered owners of previous versions. Changes include brand new custom brushes, full pressure support for pen/tablets, even more speed improvements, and countless other features! Lineform can be seen at Freeverse's booth (South Hall, Booth #1243) at MacWorld Expo all this week.
Winner of an Apple Design Award, Lineform is the ideal Mac app for vector-based diagrams and illustrations. Powerful features combine with a simple interface to create a wonderfully intuitive artistic process. Lineform has all of the most popular tools, including everything from freeform gradients to compositing effects, enabling you to create the designs you want.
Ian Lynch Smith, President of Freeverse, said "Lineform fills a very important role for creative Mac users, especially since the recent demise of Freehand. Lineform is an award winning tool that's competitively priced, blazingly fast, and intelligently designed. Check it out!"
A full demo of Lineform is available from Freeverse's website, as well as sample artwork and tutorial videos. Lineform is priced at $79.95, and is available from Freeverse's online store, as well as most Mac retailers.
