If you were rich and could afford ALL the coolest software, what would you buy???

I have Photoshop CS but what else would you all reccomend if I could buy anything, if I won the lottery or something... I mean what are your TOP faves? Brushes, Textures, actions, software, anything..... :p

Thanks in advance <DYING to read replies>

LOL!

The software I've been wondering about is Corel Painter. Not that I have *any* experience as a painter with real paint, but it looks fascinating. Some of the samples on their site are just incredible.

oh, I think the whole CS would be at the top of the rich-girl list...

I might splurge on some filter suites like Dreamsuite or Splat, but I've made do without them so long I don't really feel the need anymore, I used to covet them. One-click Wow is worth buying.

I've got CS, but I got it strangely, but if I didn't have it, and had the $$$ to buy it at full price, I'd do it. It is almost impossible to learn everything this software will do.

Since I do have Photoshop CS, what I'd love to spend money on now is video tutorials. Or every great Photoshop book I've seen at amazon.com. With CDs and DVDs if possible. Or a dozen English camera and Photoshop magazine subscriptions.

There are several filters I'd like to own -- Lauren and Sally discuss filters every other Monday night in the chat room (check the calendar). Another must-have is a font organizer and an image organizer so you can keep track of all of the fonts you have and the kits and elements you have downloaded, purchased, and created.

Other than software, I would invest in a camera with a great optical zoom and learn to use it -- then I'd be sure to get the best printer for photos (maybe even one that prints 12" square. Best yet, if I had unlimited funds I would hire someone to cook, clean, and do the laundry so I could take more photos and scrap them.

WOW! You ladies have been so much help! :)

A I said I own Photoshop CS. I now have a trial of LumaPix installed, I bought Alien Skin Splat online, I already have all the other Alien Skin Sets. I also already had Dream Suite 1, 2 and Gel. I also have - that maybe no one has??? Mystical Lighting... COOL STUFF! I have to wait on the One Click Book but other than that, I think I am set. I also have Paint Shop Pro but have NO CLUE how to use it. :confused:

I have an ok digital camera, a great Nikon film camera and 2 scanners. I have a normal Lexmark scanner/printer.

I have adobe ATM and CK Font Program for my BILLIONS of fonts. (LOVE 2Peas fonts) :p

You all ROCK! Thanks! :D
