If the tools you are using do the job you need why spend more money. I
decided several years ago that if I was going to invest the time and effort
in learning a program it might as well be the one the pros use. Now there
are many new, less expensive, photo manipulation software tools that have a
lot of power and Photoshop is overkill for most of us. I'll stay with it
because I like it and don't want to invest my time in another system.
A while back there was a thread about web site design tools. Based upon the
recommendations of some of our web development people, I bought Dreamweaver
MX. I did this again because it was regarded as the best. One penalty you
pay for that is it's immense capability, again, more than I need right now,
drives up the learning time. This is a very powerful tool and I won't
outgrow it any time soon. I think our development gurus advised us soundly.

Walt, I'm with you. I see no need for PhotoShop. I happily use Ulead
PhotoImpact4 which came with one of my scanners. It does way more than
I've figured out how to use. What do other people use? What other
options are out there? I hear Gimp is pretty good. Or convince me that
PhotoShop really is worth the big bucks (even for the upgrade) for an
amateur.
