sorry folks, totally forgot to check up on what was going on here.

An adobe application by itself is usually $500+. They cost this much due to the fact that they are industry standard products. No commercially printed material you see today hasnt passed through one of the adobe programs such as photoshop, illustrator, indesign, or acrobat. I use these programs everyday for work.

If you have alternate programs such as anime studio, which yunantidus asked, go with the adobe application since it is more widely used.

All adobe applications are made for both mac and pc, but i suggest you have a lot of hard drive space and ram to run these programs. Some of the files i create usually hit 100+ MBs. I just bought a new computer today and I'm hoping to design up a storm with minimal friction (^_^)v
