My $.02 Cleaning up graphics is one of Photoshop's target tasks. If you have the money, Photoshop is the way to go.
Creative Suite is worth the price, since it includes Photoshop, Illustrator, *and* Acrobat Pro. You will find that any sufficiently powerful bitmap editing application is difficult to use. More power usually means more options, which in turn means more ways to accidentally do something wrong! Fortunately, Photoshop is one of the world's most popular packages, so all sorts of help is available. Does everyone understand the difference between vector and bitmap graphics? I can elaborate if necessary.

You are describing editing pixels, and Photoshop would likely be more appropriate than Illustrator for these tasks. If budget is a concern, you can also try: PaintShopPro $79 US http://www.corel.com/PaintShopPro Free evaluation version available Win only the Gimp **FREE** http://www.gimp.org Win, Mac, Linux, Unix, etc.. -Michael -----Original Message----- From: Cris Reeser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 2:58 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: OT: Which should we purchase, PhotoShop or Illustrator Does anyone in the group have experience with either of these tools? My writing group is planning to buy either PhotoShop or Illustrator. We need a tool to edit graphics that have been added to PowerPoint or MSWord files. We get PowerPoint slides to edit and clean up for delivery. In places, artwork has been pasted into the slide, but contains white boxes that cover bits of the drawing or text. This method doesn't work in grayscale because the hidden lines or text show up again. We need a tool that lets us remove text in the graphics where we do not have the source file. Are either of these the right tool for this? Which tool would you recommend?
