While Adobe Photoshop is recommended for working with Subliminator design templates, it is not required. There are several alternatives available depending on your workflow and experience.
Please note that the applications below are third-party software. Subliminator does not provide technical support for these programs.
Design directly in Subliminator
If you don't have Photoshop or another design application, you can create and customize products directly in the Subliminator Design Editor.
The Design Editor allows you to:
Upload your own images and artwork
Add and edit text
Use built-in clipart and design elements
Position and resize your designs
Preview your product before publishing
This is a great option if you want to create products without using external design software.
Paid alternative
