However like all things, to become a master with CC Pro it takes practice, patience and time.   I've used CC since the first windows version came out. Then I upgraded to CC Pro when it was released. CC Pro is a vast improvement in functionality as well as ease of use. However, the biggest thing to remember with this software is that it is very poweful because it is based on a CAD engine. Therefore, ease of use is relative. If you are familiar with the way CAD programs work, the learning curve is not steep. If you think that everything should work like Microsoft Paint, then you will have a problem because your preconceived notions will not be satisfied.   When I first purchased the software I knew nothing about CAD software and was frustrated to no end. Then I took the small pamphlet that comes with it and spent about 4-5 hours doing the tutorials. I was hooked. The time I took to do the tutorials was time well spent learning to manipulate the interface.   The tutorials are easy and pretty much self explanatory. They show you how the interface works. After you've done the tutorials you will really understand the interface and your mastery of the program can begin.   The big difference between CC Pro and "Paint" programs is that every entity in CC Pro is individual. You can manipulate every object to the very last detail. So "zooming in" or "zooming out" are really indefinite (like a CAD Program). You will see no pixelation the closer you get to an object. This allows you to create indoor maps, outdoor maps and even continent maps using the same software and interface.   Profantasy is currently working on an upgrade that will allow "quasi photo textures" as part of the build process. So if you want to make something that looks "photo realistic" you will have that option too. Unfortunately they are not there yet.   CC Pro has satisfied all my mapping needs for a very long time, so I'm definitely glad that I spent the time to learn how to use it. In addition, the CC user community is second to none when it comes to support and answering questions and Profantasy is superb in their customer support.    I hope you will like the program.</blockquote>
