Jim,

Thanks for the info. Now I see the value of Fireworks. Being from Photoshop
I'm still very comfortable with the program. I think with me Fireworks is a
little difficult to use because it's much different than Photoshop. For
instance the other day I decided to create a web banner in Fireworks. I got to
a point where I needed to create a layer mask. I couldn't find out easily how
to create one so I just when to Photoshop and finished it. Later I found that
you can make layer masks in Fireworks.

I'll read the articles that you gave. Thanks for all of your .
