Hi, after finally making the decision (thanks to all your help) to buy the Epson 2100/2200 printer, my next question (hopefully last - time to get back to painting!

) concerns software.
I don't know much about it all - and prefer not to have to get a computer degree for me to understand it.
I've got Micrografx Picture Publisher 10 (digital camera edition) which does not support CYMK jpeg images. Is this a problem with the Epson 2200? It also has very limited features - I could not even get a grid (to line up things) in my image.
Also got Ulead Photo Express which can do even less.
I want to be able to print cards, brochures and reproductions of my art work, preferably without too much trouble in color matching. Text and image should work together in an image.
Is Photoshop really the best of the best? It is so expensive and my choice for the Epson printer left me a little out of pocket. Do I need it? Are there alternatives?
Help!?
Thanks for any suggestions you can make.
Sophie.
