Photoshop isn't hard to learn at all. Stay away from the filters and stupid "make this cool sig, start with render > clouds" tutorials.
Good luck!

I just got CS3 last week and...need to upgrade my PC. I had a stick a ram go bad that dropped me down to 768mb and I've been to lazy to pick up more. Going to have to get a move on that.
Whether you prefer fireworks or not you should learn Photoshop at some point because Adobe is going to stop offering fireworks.
I'd suggest at least 1gb, because otherwise even a couple of smaller files already cause photoshop to swap the ram to the HDD (usually windows alone takes 500mb an beyond) ..Only problem i had with PS CS3 was getting used to the few interface changes, but it's nice overall
I know, I can't run anything, no photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, Illustrator CS3...it just won't let me load shit but the CS3 Desktop will load. I need to pick up a new gig stick and hopefully soon I decide on what I want to go with for a new desktop.
haha^^
(hint: today, you can allways just build a 2*2ghz/2gb PC from parts for just $250 if you know how.. a gun is more expensive)

i do a lot of graphics, also making flyers and posters for clubs and parties here in my sparetime and worked for a print agency...
i dont like RAM eating monsters like photoshop. but illustrator is good...
btw. a arts professor i know said one time that it doesnt matter what application you use, if you're good and you know what you want.

I gave Fireworks an honest run and could not stand it! Ive been using PS for a few years now and i prefer to stick with it.. .
True, I'm using illustrator about 60% of my workday. Plus, if you want pro kerning you are going to have to do it yourself in illustrator. Larger text in photoshop and fireworks is not pretty.
