Diagramming Software Suggestions - 05-24-2010, 08:27 PM

I seem to have developed a habit of losing scraps of paper that I have been using to sketch out lighting diagrams. However I tend to lose my laptop a little less frequently so I was hoping someone could suggest a freeware or cheap-ware light diagramming software package. Any help would be appreciated

Got Photoshop? There's a PSD file floating around the web that EVERYBODY seems to use by Kevin Kertz. Here's a link to a site with information... Studio Lighting - Lighting Diagrams, Planning and Explaining | DIYPhotography.net

Microsoft Visio I think is a good diagram software.

Checked out the PSD resource that a couple of you guys recommended and it is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Good call and thanks for the help
