In hopes of leveling the playing field with Adobe, Microsoft on Friday released a beta of Acrylic, a professional graphics creation tool.

Microsoft Acrylic is available to download via FileForum (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Microsoft_Acrylic/1118415991/1).

Microsoft describes Acrylic as the "codename for an innovative illustration, painting and graphics tool that provides exciting creative capabilities for designers working in print, web, video, and interactive media."

The beta version of the software will work for 180 days, and the company would like early adopters to provide feedback through online forums set up for the software.

Actually I think is positioned more as a competitor to Illustrator rather than Photoshop.
