I use Photoshop when it's available, but I'm not sure I could justify
paying for it. I have both Photoshop and PhotoScape on my personal
system, and use PhotoScape for simple cropping and resizing since it's
more efficient.
I don't care what Adobe wants, only whether their suite is a good
value compared with buying other apps. My actual working suite is:
FrameMaker
Acrobat Standard
MIF2Go
SnagIt
PhotoScape
Photoshop 4
Illustrator 7
