since this a corel forum for corel painter essentials projects,i think that all projects should be made using corel projects,i am seeing more and more painter projects being done using adobe cs4,i use adobe for adobe projects and corel for corel projects,i have never put my corel projects into my adobe forums or put my adobe projects into corel forums.
I think that Cafe members (like me) are only using Photoshop to embellish their artwork painted in Essentials. Unfortunately a lot of third party plug-ins are only compatible with Photoshop.
very good point
