AND jumping up TWO levels to Design Shop "PRO PLUS". If you stay at the same level where you are at now ("Design Shop"), I would assume the cost would be around $700-$800. Remember that Design Shop has four levels to choose from: Design Shop LITE Design Shop Design Shop PRO Design Shop PRO PLUS You just have to ask yourself "is it necessary to jump up to another level from where you are now"? What features are you looking to get that you don't already have?? What's wrong with the software version you are currently using?? Make sure you do your homework and fully understand what you are doing before you do it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
