The moral of the story... don't use Graphic Workshop.  Just kidding.
Actually, as a Corel user, I usually don't see these problems.
Besides, if anyone ever needs a vector from me, I ask what platform
they are on, and export to their format.  EPS works well all-around.
My clients and associates will usually get a CD or zip from me with
each image in its own folder in about ten different formats... just to
make sure.

Nope, only Photoshop and Premier are Adobe.  The rest are
Macromedia.  Actually, I've found Macromedia's tutorials
VERY thorough and easy to understand.  The interface is
unique, which is horrible, but once over on the tutorial is
all one really needs.

I've never had a problem understanding Adobe products,
I just usually find them to be too limited.  I'll see a feature
that is available in both PhotoShop and PhotoPaint, but
PhotoShop just won't have though seemingly infinite
options that PP carries.  One thing is true, though, Corel
only pushes its few preferred plug-ins (Squizz, Paint Alchemy,
Fancy, etc.), but it doesn't really need the others.  While its
nice to go ahead and throw in a lot of AlienSkin stuff, I
can see why Corel doesn't push it.  Most plug-ins are pretty
cheesy, played-out, and disreputable, anyway.  Adobe
has kind of taken that market for themselves.  Maybe
Corel just doesn't want anyone to miss out on the incredible
features they have put in themselves?

Go rent 'Pi', 'Buffalo 66', and 'Cube'.  They all came out
on video this month (in that order).  Three really amazing
independent films.

I'm out... like when you used to roll you're pants up.
