Photoshop may be great IF you can afford it or get it free but for those of us on a limited budget or who JUST can't get their head wrapped around PS, Paint Shop Pro is an excellent alternative. Also for those of use with no artistic abilites, the tubes are GREAT and if you learn how to make your own, you are even less limited. And all the filters that work with PS also work with PSP. You just can't use them in more than one graphics program. So you have to decide where to use it. And you can use and save PS files in PSP.
I also use ULead, another good one for making tiles and buttons and logos. A friend of mine uses Xara 4. Prefers it to all the others. So PS isn't the only game in town. And if all else fails, try the one that comes on every computer, if it's windows, it's called paint...linux, it's called gimp (IF you install it). Liz
