Other Photoshop niceties:- Really easy zooming so you can see the whole layout.- Scrolling via the "hand tool" - much faster and more accurate than using scroll bars.- Great spell area effects including transparency, outlining, snap-to-grid, snap-to-center.- Auto grid creation when needed.- Full screen mode on the projector with tool palettes and menus on the computer display.- Text tool for player notes.- Layers and layer sets for organizing map elements (you can even have multiple maps in one document).Of course there are some drawbacks:Price - At $650 it's almost as expensive as the projector. Photoshop Elements is "only" $100, but I'm not familiar with it's features. Price alone will rule this out for many folks.Complexity - Photoshop is a professional image editing program. It's complicated. Don't think you're going to learn it easily.Difficulty - It takes some practice to become proficient in using all of the tools and brushes. I've become very adroit and fast at editing maps in-game, but the first few game sessions were a bit tedious.</blockquote>
