That's why design tools in visual CMS should be integrated with the current methods that designers use in specialized apps :-) Who says you can't merely reuse the same basic workflows that have been refined by professional designers, augmented with general-purpose mixed visual-textual scripting? That sounds like a winning strategy to me. Designers ''do'' learn ad-hoc batch processing tools for image transformation and publication of the final work; having those standardized would be a net win.
