[WEB4LIB] Adobe photoshop & Frontpage

[Andrew Mutch]

Tami-Jo,

I can't think of any reasons why you would run into problems between Front Page
and Photoshop.  They really are doing two different things and so there's no
issues of incompatability.  I ues Photoshop 5.0 for creating and editing images
-- it is far superior to Image Composer -- anyone out there stuck with that
sorry product and who can't afford Photoshop should check out PaintShop Pro --
and FrontPage for editing and managing the web site here.  I use the FrontPage
editor for those department pages which have been created with FrontPage but I
use Arachnophilia for creating and editing my own pages.  You can make it (or
some other web page editor) as an option in FrontPage Explorer and use that
instead of FrontPage Editor to edit your web pages.  FrontPage Editor has a bad
habit of inserting extraneous code and mucking up good code so I avoid it when
I can.
