Making custom skins for your app

[Josh Mellicker]

Tom,

I'm really not trying to argue but provide specific examples of why I  
switched to Fireworks... can you provide the top 3 or 5 specific  
reasons you prefer Photoshop for GUI design?

Not to belabor the point, but we are generating a lot of graphics  
right now for tons of courses and the info could be helpful.
