Re: PaintShop Pro 5.0 vs. Photoshop?

Rob,

Like your PS...I, too, use the Corel suite, although I use a couple of other
programs to do certain things that I am limited in with Corel.  Our small
web design firm may not be among the largest (yet...), but I also consider
us professionals at what we do...
