Martin, Through 7 years of experience on every personal computer platform I've learned one thing about paint programs — the more you have the better off you are! I currently run PhotoStyler, Image-In, Tempra (for the Illuminator 16) and (of course) Animator Pro. Count on Aldus supporting *anything* that makes…
