I think that you should look at CorelXARA before you limit your choices
for graphics. I discovered it this past spring and now am a big fan. It
has powerful capabilities, excellent tutorials, and a very interesting
interface. I paid $185. Paint Shop Pro doesn't cost so much that you
couldn't buy it for yourself in a pinch.
