Not to nitpick a nitpick, but penultimate in this case would mean second
best. If he said "Photoshop is the ultimate..." it wouldn't have
meant
"last" but "best." Likewise, "penultimate"
would mean "next to best" not
"next to last."
Oh, yeah... just so that this isn't a completely pointless post: Use
what
works for you, and buy the absolute best you can afford. Don't skimp --
don't use PaintShop Pro or ColorIt just because you're too cheap to spring
for Photoshop. There's a reason it's considered the "standard."
