Lol, I couldn't go back to homepage (need good site management) but you have a solid app. Back in the day (like golive 2.0) I'd use golive for everything EXCEPT tables which just rocked in homepage. I think something is wrong though... It should NOT take 5 minutes to load on your TiBook. I have a beige g3 I run it on sometimes when I'm at that place, and it loads in a few minutes (266mhz). Contact me off the list if you like and I can possibly help figure out whats going on with your version. :) > Sorry, but while PE is in some way an improvement over Photoshop 4.0 > (which I still use), it sorely lacks one of the most important > typographic controls for the Web -- the ability to tighten or loosen the > space between characters.

One thing to do is check ebay... You can probably get a v5.5 (which is a GOOD update app) for pretty cheap. Or even 6.0... For all its faults, it is a solid program and its text abilities and layer groupings are really helpful (although layer effects are just weird now). Elements isn't supposed to be the end-all and be all... The problem is it doesn't really know what it's supposed to be, which is part of why I've been shaking my head at adobe lately and their (lack) of understandings of the current market as they have no answer to fireworks, the program that is really, really killing their marketshare as the web becomes more important and many print shops are being asked to do both. As a bundled app that comes with a scanner, its great. More than anything really competing against corel photopaint. Hell, it would be competing against the likes of graphic converter if it didn't have layer support. :) For more than basic web graphics or the above, its not really worth it as the amount of copies its selling show (I don�t have the pcdata numbers in front of me, but they are NOT good... Especially for the whole big design suite they sell... They sold something like 6 units in a month). -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
