Technically, WINE = "Wine Is Not a Windows Emulator". WINE has no similarities to a tool such as VirtualBox. You *HAVE* to have a legal and licensed copy of a MS operating system to run it in VirtualBox (or any other emulator for that matter). > It implies that the application appearance totally ignores the desktop > settings in general, and accessibility colors in particular.

GIMP and ImageMagick are bimap editors and have a different purpose when discussing photographic images, compared to photo editors such as Picasa, Lightroom, LightZone, etc. I'd say try LightZone if you want a serious photo editing experience on a Linux distro. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
