My choices of software

[artmarkf]

What I like to use mainly is now Photoshop CS3 .
Corel Draw X4
Fireworks CS3

For just minor picture edits I use ACDsee Pro 2, excellent for viewing pictures.

so Photoshop is my main choice.

This week I tried some othe graphics applications like Corel painter x and Corel painter essentuals.
I liked them both for artistic works painter x is ok for picture touch ups .
But I still reckon ya cant beat Adobe photshop CS3 extended for its all round capabilities, I do every thing from little touch ups and resizes to logos and website headers its ability is endless.
