photoshop 5 is the home owners version- mostly for screwing around with already created images. photoshop 6, however, is awesome. photoshop literally lets you create something out of nothing. i made all of the backgrounds on my website in photoshop, as well as most of the .gif titles. software is so much fun to playwith- at school i used to spend my lunch in the computer lab working on my site- those computers had *everything* including illegal flash.
