Well, I should soon have my NFR "Not For Resale" copies of CS3 Master Suite and Akvis Sketch. One of the guys I work with has been wheeling and dealing with Adobe and Akvis to become sales representatives. For that we will get a free NFR copy of their program so we can learn the newest features to show to our customers. For Akvis Sketch, they have requested that I submit my work so far and to put together a training video for them to post. Should be fun. I can't wait for the software so I can do this.

For anyone who has never used Akvis Sketch, it will take a photo and turn it into a sketch. It has to be the easiest program to learn and tweak that I have ever used. For $72.00 it is a bargain. Can be either a stand alone program or a photoshop plug in.
