No problems at all.  Run the combo on several machines.  Both are a bit of 
resource hogs, so you may not want to run both at same time, depending on 
the box you're using.  Of course there is no problem with the graphics, as 
PhotoShop will produce absolutely standard images in a variety of 
formats.  Be sure to get PS at the academic price.

I doubt very many serious graphics folks like Image Composer.  As you 
probably know, PhotoShop is the ultimate graphics tool, but has a fairly 
steep learning curve.  Of course if your person already knows it, then 
should be no problem.  I'm sure others will pipe in with suggestions for 
other graphics software, so I'll not do that.
