Hi dreamer, U r very correct.Adobe Illustrator & Corel Photo Paint is the mixture of PS & CorelDraw. But.. while making designs in corel we use backgrounds made in ps with high resolution; for tht we have to go to ps & then import to Corel.D. which results in a heavy file. If ps get the ability to make vector art then i think the problem of file size & memory will be solved. Well i may be wrong 'cause i am trying to intersect Vector based prog. & rastor based prog. together.... :) kd
