Thanks for your replies and the great article!

I like XaraX to prepare my flash work, it's a real time-saver.

But I'm looking for another program with bitmap tools in addition to XaraX.

I don't like Corel PhotoPaint, tried PSP and thought Canvas might be interesting, 'cause it can do vectors as well as bitmap.

I'll go with XaraX and Photoshop 7 or XaraX and Canvas 8 (slowly getting used to the Canvas interface, the more I play with it, the more I like it).
