I had a hard time learning the program until I invested in some training CD's. Now it has become much easier. I've never used CorelDraw, and in my opinion Adobe products are generally the industry standard and more capable programs. If you think that you are going to Autodigitize designs with accuracy, clarity, and efficiency, you are misinformed. Autodigitizing has it's place and it's great to get started in the digitizing realm, but don't think a year from now you will be using it. As your desings get more complex and sewing efficiency becomes more important, you will all but abandon autodigitizing. Don't waste the money on it. Use that money to contract some desings and then pick those designs apart in DesignShop and learn from it. Best of luck to you. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
