I recently upgaded my Photoshop to the lasted version CS3. I am sure it is over kill for what I'll ever need, but that's the way I am. I also got the lasted version of Coreldraw X3 (version 13). Of these two I should have no problem making what I want. Now I just need to teach myself, which I am in the process of doing. What I really need is to know where all you guys learned. There are a ton of instructional books and CD ROM/DVD's but which is best for the purpose of creating and manipulating buttons.
