I am constantly amazed at what they are able to do with it. I was just a minute ago explaining to my younger daughter the concept of layers and the first thing she did with it was to separate an object to which she wanted to apply a special filter. Without even thinking about it.

This takes me back to when I was 12 and discovered layers in Photoshop 6. Having always been frustrated with my drawings being all matted together in Paint/ClarisWorks/etc, layers blew my mind and hooked me on the concept of digital art.

Layers are a great example of how simple tools can act as a multiplier for creativity and inspiration.

I lost my PC graphics virginity with Corel DRAW (I don't remember the version). Man, it was so inspiring... I could never get used to Adobe Illustrator afterwards, it just did not seem logic after working with Corel Draw for years.

They've recently published a revamped version with Mac compatibility and I bought it just for the sake of good old times, although I'm far from doing any graphic work anymore.
