In this clear, well-organized guide, author Sandee Cohen explains how to use FreeHand 7, the illustration package from Macromedia. She addresses beginning and intermediate users of the Macintosh version, focusing more on using FreeHand's drawing and editing tools than on creating fully developed illustrations. You learn how to draw shapes and paths; work with layers; transform and color objects; apply fills, strokes, and blends; work with text and create special text effects; create and modify styles; use plug-in filters; and create charts and graphs. Cohen explains how to prepare your work for the Web and for print, and how to import and export bitmap and vector images. Appendices cover FreeHand shortcuts and provide an overview of the package's interface.
