Could anybody recommend a good program to be an alternative to Photoshop? I like Photoshop but I would prefer a more lightweight program that uses less CPU and is quicker with the start up. Also if it has a lot of the same tools as Photoshop, well that would be hunky dory. Look forward to your replies - Auggie2k
PS: Obviously don't worry if its a program you have to pay for - If you don't know why I'm saying this then leave ZP, right now!

If your talking about fireworks by macromedia then adobe now owns macromedia so im assuming most of the features will get integrated into photoshop.
