I was talking with a fresh coat entrepreneur from upstate ny. He said corporate can be slow to respond. They call it learning by doing, like a character builder. He said if the franchisee is annoying they may not respond at all.

Thanks. I posted a yt link not too long ago that made a ton of sense. Send before / after pics to your satisfied client and include them in the pics. Tag them and send it via facebook. Now, all of their friends will get a hit - making them want to inquire about who did their paint job. I am fixin' to trial this type of marketing within a few days. I will share the results.

Ps = Photoshop
Ai = Illustrator
Br = Bridge
Dw = Dreamweaver

I have the Full Version of Adobe CS5 those are just the apps that I use the most. I use Ps and Ai the most for design. Friggin expensive software though, I think retail is $4999 for the full version and I paid right at $4500. I use it all day long so 6 days a week so it is worthwhile for me but not for most.

Planning on buying my 10 year old a MacBook when she starts back to school. She will be in 5th grade this year and we have had her on a computer since she was 2. They are now working solely on Mac in school which I think is brilliant.

I work at a school district (teaching computer skills) that is all Mac!

Adobe is something I have never explored, yet.

In my line of work you have to use it all the time! I design stencils, then convert the stencil onto glass and either etch or paint the companies logo onto the glass to then silver it. I have to use about 10 different programs to get this entire thing done from concept to design to cutting on a plotter. Needless to say I love my huge monitor!

I really like watching TV in the corner of my monitor while I am doing other work in illustrator. My day flies by most of the time.

Adobe CS5 is a beefy program.

Yeah it is loaded with goodies! It has programs that I will never use but that is the way it goes as it is all part of the program. Bridge is very cool as is the new magic tools that PS has now where you can remove the background in about 3 clicks!!! Crazy magic eraser!

Don't tell anyone, I use a bootlegged version of the mac adobe suite. Photoshop is really the only one I use...unless I'm designing logos for my embroidered polos, the I use Illustrator

I have a few friends who do that as well. I have to pay for mine as it is part of a deal I worked out with some top of the line designers from The Limited and Victoria's Secret.

I am guessing your running little snitch in the background? I run little snitch to keep unwanted people from bothering me, great program and only $29 a year!

I have the adobe cs4 master collection. I was working in dreamweaver to build a website and then got busy and put it on the back burner.
Sweet program. There is a lot of stuff I will never use but I do like the sound booth program quite a bit.

LS for outgoing and PeerGuardian for incoming.

I started with dreamweaver then moved to Ms expression 3.0, It just seemed easier for me. What you see in design time is what you get, not like dreamweaver.

I am going to get back at it eventually and will keep that in mind.

Thanks for those search terms. That was perfect and I found a site that fits my needs. I appreciate the help.

Check it out. Pics are not as clear as they need to be. Music will be altered. Thoughts? Thanks.

Always take "after" pics after the stuff has been moved back into place....especially tools/equipment.

I think the music might be a turn off to some. I like the song but I am a painter.
