particle effects?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Can you please recommend any software for making particle effects for corona? 

#2

Depends on the effect. You can use AfterEffects and render a few frames of an animation to cycle through. If you want to make the particle effect 100% through code - and are literally wondering how to generate the tiny particles - use photoshop. You can modify the bitmap (i.e. rotate it or make it smaller) and saveAs the changes to make a bunch of variations.

Thanks.

Do you know of anything like the particle designer for cocos2d?
