    Hi I use Photoshop on my Mac, but also use CoralDraw X7 in Windows 10 through Parallels. I prefer to work in CoralDraw for vector images and Text, and Photoshop for photos.
    Cheers

    Hi Tim

    I've just got rid of my 27'' iMac and gone over to a PC with Eizo monitor, this was mainly for the large format fine art prints that I'm doing as Canon still haven't sorted out the drivers for OS 10.11 to work properly with my IPF5100 printer. However for Sub work it was great with the Ricoh SG3110. so onto software....

    If you can get hold of a copy of Photoshop CS6 extended it should cover most of what you'll need, there are a few on the forum that use an Opensource equivalent called Gimp, this is free and comparable with Photoshop. Adobe are having a strong marketing push with CC (Creative Cloud) with offer all of their products as online versions for a subscription, in my eyes it looks a tad expensive but if you do go for photoshop you will find thousands of online tutorials on both Youtube and Google.

    Good luck

    John

I have a Siser heat press a Ricoh SG3110 and a Adkins mug press that i can't wait to see. I am looking to do just one off mugs so want the PC set up to be as easy as possable I would want to inport the pic from and email and set it up next to a company logo. very basic I hope. Thank you all again.

    Ive got a choice of both Windows and Mac but have used Mac far more. Theres a program called Art Text 2 which I used for website logos etc.

    http://www.belightsoft.com/products/...t/overview.php

    Im going to design some stuff on the Mac but use Windows to do the printing as I can knock stuff up in Art Text quickly already. I'll see if it works then if not go full on Windows.

    We use Photoshop CC (on Windows 10) ... under £9 a month subscription, which gives you two licenses, so you can run it on two PCs at a time - so get it and run it on both your OSX and Windows machine if you want. It's the same software whatever OS you run it on, so doesn't matter really what it's running on.
