If you have a copy of Elements, I would urge you to try it out.  It is
hardly a dumbed down Photoshop like LE was.   The only things it seems
to lack is pre-press functions, and we don't usually need those for
this stuff.  It has several good tools not found in Photoshop 6, but I
think they'll show up in PS 7.

I'll probably put it on my home computer, instead of paying for a PS7
upgrade.

Regards,
Sonny
