Have you tried Paint Shop Pro6? Talent is talent. Software is irrelevant.

| I am someone with the opinion that the market is diluted and
oversaturated.

| No.

|
| I say...
| Great things take time.  If you desire long term respect, learn Photoshop,
| Illustrator, Freehand, Fireworks, 3D Studio Max, etc...  If you do not
| desire long term respect and wish to create graphics for a personal site
| about your 16 cats, use Paint Shop Pro.

|
| I say...
| Paint Shop Pro creates very good graphics for the price.

|

| That is very true.

|
| I say..
| Reasoning is lost on 85.13% of all humans.

| Deborah said...

|
| I say...
| Yes.

|
| I say...
| I took Paint Shop Pro to its fullest extent.  I even worked with JASC for
a
| period writing tech notes for their web site.

|
| I say...
| That would have been unappropriate, since the request was for a web site
| critique.
|
| Bottom line...speak to the industry leaders and pose the question, "Would
| you hire someone with Paint Shop Pro as a graphical background?"
| Use Paint Shop Pro on your personal websites.  If you are attempting to
| become a Web Designer/Developer who offers services to other businesses,
do
| the right thing.
