Need feedback and / or suggestions - Surething Decal maker software

it can be done that way but ,all the decal  and scren printing people use vector based programs , like illustrator,corel and inkscape (free)

 so if you want to get into designing decals (and possibly masks), it only makes sense to stay away from raster programs like  Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro and Gimp. and learn to use vector based drawing software.

the learning curve is no different between them. 

Photoshop and PSP also do vector graphics.  Not sure about elements.

Are you going to make inkjet decals with your own printer?  In this case you do not need dedicated decal making software.  Any photo editing or paint program is good enough.  There are even shareware or free ones available, such as GIMP.    All you need is to get the design as a jpeg or similar graphics file, and print with your printer.

If you are designing for screen printing, then you need something fancier, but Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro can make color seperation layers.
