If you want to cooperate with advertiser agencies, you HAVE to use photoshop
I don't think that's necessarily true. An app which has clear value over Photoshop will find its market. I think Final Cut Pro is a good example of this sort of thing. But I agree a simple clone of Photoshop would probably not be enough for broad acceptance. It might, however, be enough to sell to people like me who don't need to interact with agencies at all. I think that's especially true if it costs less.
