Hello,

Shortly after I got involved with Poser, some 2 years ago, I bought a small Wacom tablet which came with PS Essentials 3.  I have been using it, and enjoy the neat tools.  I am upgrading my computer, and while at it, I was thinking of buying Photoshop CS.  Now there is also the full creative suite for about $4-500 more.  Is it worth the purchase, or just pony up for Photoshop?  As for intended usage, I do plan to make textures for characters, clothes, and props; however, I also like to design things, and am somewhat interested in Illustrator.  Does anyone have any advice on this?  Thanks, -Starkdog
