Hi everyone,

Can someone tell me whether Macromedia programs are considered better than=20
Adobe ones at producing web graphics?  For instance, is Freehand better than=20
Illustrator?  As far as I know Macromedia do not produce a photo editing=20
program, so would their programs integrate with Adobe Photoshop?

Also, can anyone tell me whether Satori programs (www.satoripaint.com) are=20
good, and how PhotoXL compares to PhotoShop and equivalents?  They are doing=20
a special offer at the moment where you can upgrade to version 3 of PhotoXL=20
for =A349.99, and as I already have version 2.29 I was wondering whether to=20
upgrade.  However, not having had any experience of Photoshop, I don't know=20
whether I'd be better off saving up for it rather than upgrading PhotoXL 3.

Also, for making web graphics, is Photoshop or Illustrator more useful?

Peter.
