I sure dislike discussions which revolve around price. Pricing is really a take it or leave it thing and has little to do with the issues. For many, DP is too expensive. So? For others even more budget conscious, P&G is expensive. Again, so?

Illy does work well for what it does, but isn't a do all, end all product. There are features designers have been longing for in Illy and likely will never get. Sound familiar?

I have and still use Illustrator for some things. Mostly I use it when it is a company/job requirement as my design work is rather simply and doesn't tax the capabilities in either it or DP.

Nice design, Bob. And it is a happy accident you achieved. I wouldn't have known it was an accident if you hadn't mentioned it. The elements outside the clip just look right.

Take care, Mike
