I'm trying to figure out what program to use to create a garden map.  My other choices are MS Paint and MS Powerpoint (really!  great for moving objects around)
 
But, it seems to me that PS has the best chance of creating a robust result.  
 
So, my first question is:  do you think I should use PS?
 
Which, if you think it can be done, leads to the 2nd question:
 
how?
 
I need a ruler so I can use the field measurements I have taken;  and the ruler has to work for all the layers/objects I might create
 
I also need to be able to draw curvy lines and adjust them (more convex here, more concave there) at various points.
 
I would develop a small library of objects to represent trees, shrubs, grasses, etc.
 
And, perhaps, I might want to add color to the plant objects.
 
No, I'm not going to buy a garden planning app. 
 
thanks in advance for the help! _________________ Michael Weis  |
