As a follow-up to Kurt's suggestion to check out Adobe Elements
("Essentials") I did some quick research.Adobe Elements has a lot of the functionality of Photoshop minus things like: - Less lighting and filtering controls - Limited text formatting (no tracking/kerning), typing along a path, full justification - No offset printing with CYMK (not an issue with digital printers?) - No layer masks, just layer blending - No batch automation - No slice for web page feature - No support for animated GIF files The only potentially worrisome items on that list are no layers masks and limited text formatting. On the positive side, Elements is $59 via Amazon (with $20 rebate). And it is supposed to have a much simpler, easier to use interface than Photoshop. Thanks again for everyone's recommendations.
