okay guys/gals.

I'm looking into getting a good image program. I narrowed the choices to Paint shop pro/photoshop. I'm not good with graphics so a program that could maybe "do a lil more of the work/effect" is ideal. But I do want to create alot of the "metalliac/chrome" effect u see on alot of images..

any suggestions :?:

Macromedia's Fireworks is a very fine program. You can download a free 30-day trial.

i'll have a gander at that, ty patrik.

Maybe this will help, i'm looking to mimic/create images such as

the top menu with that sort of "metal" effect. The globe effect with the cross inside is sweet too.
