Depends on whether you measure in productivity or just price. With ImagemasterRT you require a computer to use as a document reader, and it is not as quick or easy to use as a document with a good TOC and index. Also the OL doc has lots of language that is not directly devoted to operational reference that is usually not desireable in OL reference material which increases the wading factor. With ADPro, I can take the document home, to lunch, to the beach etc and figure out the how I'm gonna set up that next killer sequence/image. Can't do that with IM since th chord on the reader is not long enough :^}. NOTE to Glen: these are my OPINIONS, (there is no absolute answer on this issue) and you should actually try them both out. The facility of one versus the other is mainly a function of work style. Some like trial and error (aka creative play) and others like to get directly to what they have already seen in their mind's eye. The latter group will usually have the process planned out before starting, while the former play until they get something they like. The latter will use a document in off-line mode more, while the former usually aschew documents altogether. That, in my mind is the real issue on these two packages as they both can get you from A to B with quality results and both products are well supported in terms of tech support. ADPro is better supported by third party products and does have the ability to render direct to the Toaster. (IM doesn't does it? Haven't checked recently.) wmc – via Autopilot!
