Jodys,
Thanks for the info. You seem to know alot about graphic software, so I'm gonna pick your brain.

I just ordered a new pc (bare = without any software installed) so I can load it down with big graphic programs coz I want to be a graphics and web design guru when I grow up .. lol.

Anyway, this is what I have now:
Photoshop 4 + Eye Candy
Paint Shop Pro 5
Wacom tablet
scanner
digital cam
web cam
Arachnophilia
Adobe Pagemill

What I ordered which has arrived, but not used yet ... waiting to install it on new pc when it comes:
Ulead PhotoImpact 4
Kai Power Goo
Kai Photo Soap

What I recently ordered and is coming sometime within the next couple weeks, I hope:
Bryce 4
Poser 3
Kai Power Tools
NetObjects Fusion 4.0
Design Painter 5

What's on my shopping list to buy:
Flash 3
Fireworks 2
.... who knows what's next

Anyway, am I duplicating efforts here and/or way over my head in software which I don't need or is too far advanced for me?

Any others you would recommend which are not on my list?

Thanks in advance.

Fireworks is more like photoshop and illustrator combined with the features of several other programs... and Flash is used for creating FLASH animation... funny that:) I would look into buying the DREAM TEAM pack from macromedia... thats got all the good stuff cramed into one... then theres Director, freehand, dreamweaver lots of great programs

Okay, I'm confused. What's the difference between Fireworks 2 and Flash 3 ??? Too many of them ... phew! But I'd sure love to know. I've ordered several new programs and those two I was looking into next .. still waiting on the ones I ordered.

Thanks.

get yourself a copy of FIREWORKS 2 from Macromedia...that program will not only slice up your images its makes the HTML to use on your page... it does rollovers and all kinds of wonderfull it has great file exports settings

I don't know what your budget is like, but ULEAD Smart Saver has optimization and slicing. It also creates the HTML for you.
