Hi Toshi,
I subscribe to Dirk's assessment of the Adobe software and would like
to add that there is university/ student and small/ medium businesses
licences available at reduced prices. Check
http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-EDU&event=displayEduConditions&nr=0&promoid=FCRWP
and
http://volumelicensing.adobe.com/store/adbevlus/DisplayHomePage?promoid=FCRWO1234
or simply www.adobe.com
Cheers,
Julia
