I'm confused about Scarlet's place in the lineup. Is it a complementary product for Macaw (now Indigo, apparently), or is it a successor?
Macaw indigo was really an app for starting a design but it worked via a proprietary file format. It could export html but couldn't open it. This new program opens html and works within it but has less drawing capability and seems to be more for tweaking like you might do with a text editor otherwise.
Does anyone have experience with Macaw? Are you using it regularly? I tried the demo a couple times, but didn't fall in love. It seems like a very compelling piece of software, so I'd like to hear if people using it.
Yes, unfortunately I have some mild experience with the original release. "The previous version of Macaw – soon to be rebranded as Macaw Indigo – excelled at prototyping and mockups. Said another way, Indigo is best for earlier stage, conceptual work and Scarlet is best for getting to production." So the version I foolishly funded via Kickstarter (come on, it looked gorgeous) and discarded immediately is getting rebr…
I agree and also have my copy of macaw lying dormant. in their defense though I think its just really hard to mix a drawing canvas with another 'canvas' where you're translating language to language. Adobe hasn't been able, nor has Corel or Xara or Serif and several other companies.
