Recently Adobe Image Styler was also mentioned in passing.  I'm trying to
determine which of these to buy, Styler or IR.  Which program would be the
most useful for creating lots of graphics.. backgrounds, buttons of all
shapes, and optimizing the images for easy insertion into web pages.  I
would like to hear your opinions about these two programs in order to make a
better informed decision.  I can't afford both.  If IR doesn't do
gradients... does Styler?

Thanks in advance,
Lonna
