M thoughts on my first proper go...
It's good for an older version but it's basically the same as what I've already got (but with different art effects and tools). I'll keep it around as I can edit my photographs in PSP and XPGD and PS CS2,
I only got it because I've heard about and what can be done with it and I have reasonably limited access to CS6 (free use for an hour in Manchester Central Librray's new media suite. But I somehowe prefer ILLUSTRATOR to PS for some reason.
