As a professional marketing artist, I too believe what Litst is saying about the Monopoly. Adobe is trying to take over the graphic market with it's products. Illustrator against CorelDraw, InDesign against QuarkXpress and PhotoShop against (Fractal)Painter 3D. Since I use most of the products above on a daily basis I know each has its strong and weak points. As for the interface. I never had a problem with PhotoShop. Maybe because I'm a "GEEK" who reads software manuals in my spare time. If you client ask you, "You have Corel what?!" show them an example of what you can do with it. This tends to shut them up real quick. P.s. Nice grazing ball
