On Fri, 14 Jan 2005 15:29:07 -0800, Richard Gaskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made out a very interesting case for Macromedia Fireworks. It was endearing to read

Fireworks is everything I had always wanted from SuperPaint

I loved SuperPaint too, in my time, tho I don't think anyone had heard of antialiasing back then.


My real quarrel with Photoshop is that it is to me (but clearly not to others) deeply counter-intuitive, and I suppose my rather casual use of it has prevented me surmounting the learning curve. Many things offered in menus don't work in certain circumstances because of a kind of hidden context consisting of a combination of properties one's unaware of, like what kind of color model is being used; and anyone who chooses the term 'Unsharp Mask' to describe a function whose job is to **sharpen** an image is not really trying to make things too clear, are they? Nor have I ever got 'Replace Color' to replace a color... I could go on. And anyway the attractions of a more vector-based tool are obvious. I shall see if I can afford Fireworks.

Ah well, back to Rev.
