I'm not a pro photographer - painting is my thing. I take reference photos as well as photos of my artwork so I'm planning to stick with the adobe cs3 for now. My main requirement for photo manip is simplicity and accurate colour representation. Hopefully the iMac visuals are true to life. ----------------------------------------------------------- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage list subscription options at <http://www.freelists.org/list/muglo> -----------------------------------------------------------
