Paint Shop Pro — an image editor

At a minimum, the program you use should have a zoom feature

which allows you to magnify the image you are editing because images
used on signs are typically 32 x 32 pixels or less in size. (That’s very
small!)

You will need a program to create and edit bitmapped images.

Image editing software examples in this manual illustrate version 5.03 of
Paint Shop Pro (the steps are similar for newer versions of Paint Shop
Pro).

The latest version of Paint Shop Pro is available from Corel at

www.corel.com. They typically offer a 30-day demostration version.
However, there is a number of programs designed for editing graphics.
You can search for “open source graphic program” or freeware or
shareware to get started.

While there are many great commercial programs available, you

may not need all their features—or want to pay the price for them.

Paint Shop Pro has many features, including a zoom.
