Re: FLASH: Should i get Photoshop?

[Rob King]

Me, standing on the other side of the fence... would have to agree.. Im a

long time standing PhotoPaint person...  I started with Corel 2.0 and have

worked up since and Im just as quick as the photoshop people and do just as

well:) Its all a matter of finding a program your comfortable with and can

relate to...

just remember...  The Tools you use should be a Help, not a hinderance:)
