I use photoshop 6 and PSP 4.12. Can't say I can do anything with either except add a drop shadow to some text.

I have both Illustrator and Photoshop. I have never found Illustrator to be that great for image editing, so I use Photoshop for that kind of stuff. But Illustrator works great for making logos, styled text and much more stuff. I always seem to find myself using Illustrator much more than photoshop for some odd reason, though.
Either way, I love both of 'em...

Microsoft Image Composer.
Even though it's about 3 years outdated, and it's limited in use, I use this program to create the draft layout of all my websites. I've grown so used to this program that I can whip up a layout in no time. Then I use good 'ole photoshop to finish it up.

Great tool!
It's like a doctor friend of mine who was saying when he was first doing some surgery with fiber cameras or whatever, he would want to keep looking at where the action was actually happening instead of turning his head to see the monitor view.

The thing is, you don't look at the mouse when you use it, and that feels VERY natural, but as soon as you're holding a pen, all your instincts tell you to look at your hand. I bought one of the smallest pads, and thought that I would have to lift the pen from it to get to all parts of the screen, but actually the pad is the size of the screen. It's really great to be able to zoom in to an area and work, something you can't do with pen and paper.

Yeah, I guess it's because when we first used a mouse, it was controlling something on the screen whereas with a pen/tablet type thing we all have at least a decade, probably a couple, of habit of using the pen to do work at the end of that pen.

I guess that's the brain's way of optimising CPU usage.
