Overall Satisfaction with OmniGraffle

OmniGraffle has tons of uses, not least of which is as an image and graphic design tool. Not needing major graphic design software in-house (we outsource that work when it's needed) we use OmniGraffle to design graphics and images as needed. We also use it to work with vector images and stencils in order to create details for construction documents as needed. OmniGraffle just has so many fantastic uses, probably many of which we haven't even begun to utilize to the fullest.
  • Importing image files (jpg, pdf, png, etc.)
  • Resizing images
  • Exporting newly created and edited images and files
  • I'd love to be able to keep more than one of the different tool tabs open at a time.
  • The stencils are amazing. Would be great if a whole lot more of the free ones came standard as opposed to having to download them from Graffletopia or other sites.
  • Built in tutorials would be great.
  • I've created multiple OmniGraffle template files that I use constantly. I create covers for our proposals in OmniGraffle with pictures of the the client's buildings or sites. All I need to do is drag and drop the image into the template, change the title and client name and address accordingly and it's ready to go.
  • Using templates in OmniGraffle has saved lots of time.
  • Using OmniGraffle to design drawing details for construction documents has allowed us to land projects, purchase orders and new clients to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I know that OmniGraffle is not an alternative to Photoshop or even other graphic design tools. But I cannot stress enough how great it is to use as a graphic design tool for relatively simple editing and creation tasks. The fact that the margins allow for different types of measurements for sizing also make it great for determining image sizes. I imagine it's not great for the advanced image editing needs the tone would use Photoshop for.
