Well Sophia, I have had a look at your other work and from what i see there, I think you have a good working knowledge of the prog that you use, so I would continue working in that. While other programs might be able to do some things better, or at least differently than yours, it doesn't mean that you can't do mapping using what you have at hand. I see that you have some artistic talent, so getting better at mapping would IMHO be a matter of learning how to use your program better in a mapping sense. I would suggest looking through some tutorials and see if there are techniques that you can use with your prog. You might have to try and figure out what the corresponding commands are to get similar results, but as long as you are using a similar TYPE of program, it should not be too difficult.
