Well, Dan as you can see from the responses, you got some excellent
suggestions. Like a lot of things in life, the choice of software is
a subjective thing. We all tend to embrace the things we have an
investment (time or money) in. You would get a similar set of
answers if you were to ask which vehicle (brand, color, type) each of
us preferred. Once you master a software program you view it with a
different light than one you have never seen. Maybe each of us
should list the other reasons we suggest a specific brand of
product. My reason for recommending Corel is simple. I have been
using the product since it was release 2 and it's like a comfortable
pair of shoes. I know how to do everything it will do and I know its
limitations. Whenever I have problems in other programs I usually
fall back to what I know better and use Corel.

Most of the work I do is "decorative" and I rely on the import
utilities of Corel, the huge number of fonts that you can tune into
cut paths, and a massive clipart library. The separate trace
software for taking bitmaps and changing them to vectors is handy.

There you have my confession. Have FUN!
