I haven't tried it because I understand it offered less functionality than standard gimp, and only tried (I thought) to sooth people who freaked over multiple windows. It may be that it had further translation of gimpish UI features to shopish -- I didn't realize that (or care). >From what I've heard it lags gimp considerably, because of a tiny developer community. I have a hard time seeing a lot of PS-aware users giving it a try. Regards, ..jim -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
