With CC2 you can make great looking maps for a small price (compared to the other three I mentioned CC2 is almost for free) but you will only get vector maps that falls short compared to a pixel based software. This is only partly true of floorplans where my personal taste is B&W vector maps (Freehand maps FH8 are my favorites).But when it comes to maps of villages, areas, and worlds Photoshop is unbeatable. The quality speaks for itself even if people prefer to work with other mapping aids. Nothing is as good looking as a true Photoshop map with shades and transparency. But I also use CC2 when I want to make fast maps since you can make a decent map in less than an hour or two. For new mappers I would recommend CC2 over any other since it is a complete package for decent money.</blockquote>
