It is hardly a dumbed down Photoshop like LE was. The only things it seems to lack is pre-press functions, and we don't usually need those for this stuff. It has several good tools not found in Photoshop 6, but I think they'll show up in PS 7. I'll probably put it on my home computer, instead of paying for a PS7 upgrade.
