I would choose:

Photoshop CS3

3DS Max

Poser

Filezilla, I cannot imagine the hassle of uploading without an FTP program.

Cinema4D 8.5 (Wish I could afford to upgrade)

Photoshop 7 (Again, wish I could afford an upgrade)

Poser 6 (I HATE this with a passion, THE most unfreindly and clunky software I've EVER used, but sadly no alternative, and can't bring myself to upgrade)

Vue 6 Infinite (bought it about 3 months ago, and haven't had time to use it yet, so not really a 4th)

Photoshop 7.0
Elelments 3.0
Micrografx Picture Publisher  7a  (yeah, I like it!!  it does a lot of the simple stuff.... simply!!   and it does it well. I had to do a search on the web to find this old version a couple years ago.   For $14.95.... it does one monster heck-of-a job!!!  Yes,  I'm doing my pro work on a fourteen dollar program! Stuff I've got published in magazines and books, I massaged in Micrografx 7a.)

Yup, only three..       What I need is a good piece of software to organize my pic library... my homespun excel data base is getting to be a bit of a drag with over a 1,000 pix in it...

Thanks, Void...  yeah.... several weeks ago I downloaded the beta version for a trial run...........  and then never found the time to really play with it before it expired.  I don't mind spending the bucks for a piece of software.. but I always like to hear personal critique and experience of others before I lay out the cash.  8)=tom
