I used to own Photoshop (since version 4.0), but then, a few years ago, I needed to use a few other programs, and since Photoshop was a part of that suite, I bought the suite (US $2K). Late last...

That was very much my experience. I used to own Photoshop (since version 4.0), but then, a few...

Never mind, Gary, I've found it:

Nice quote. Do you have a link to it, Gary?

Corel is really going to cash in on this debacle.

Please add Corel to the mix. At this point my trust in Adobe's ability to make sound decisions is shaken, and I would be very interested in such a review.
