    Photoshop as a 30 day trial. Or paintbrush on windows

    @InovaTech You can install Inkscape but it won't run - at least without a few preparations ... I haven't tried it on 10.9 but have a read of this and the solution might get it going for you ... This worked for me on 10.8 even though I ended up using GIMP and not Inkscape ... I have not upgraded to 10.9 just yet so can't give you the complete answer ... Please find the link below ... Good luck

    I can confirm Inkscape works on OSX Mountain Lion with the installation of XQuartz

    Yes that is what I meant when I said 10.8 ... I think it will work on Mavericks 10.9 too but have not tested it myself ... ;-)

    @InovaTech I haven't upgraded to 10.9 myself so I haven't tried to run Inkscape on it but this article shows you how. http://grammarofdev.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/how-to-run-inkscape-in-os-x-109.html

    @InovaTech I have now upgraded to os x 10.9 (Maverick) and Inkscape is working without problems. When I run into problems like this I google for answers and so far I have been able to get Inkscape, Audacity (Free audio program), etc to work.

    If you have XQuartz installed and followed the instructions in the link above there is no reason for it not to work as all you would need is a compatible X Server to run any X11 apps ... I am still on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion so can't confirm how it runs on OS X 10.9 Mavericks but @colander confirmed it runs ok ... When I upgrade to Mac OS X 10.9 in a little while once I am comfortable that GS officially supports it I will do a clean install of Inkscape on Mavericks and let you know ... All I can say is that there are no technical reasons for it not to run. I suggest you review the steps in the links above and confirm you did everything correctly ... Good luck ;-)

    I've been using Inkscape on Mavericks and everything works great, Install Xquartz restart and install inkscape. Worked with no problem.
