George,
The more I see, the more I like it. One of the attractions is the much
shorter learning curve than PS requires, and added to the reasonable
price, it's pretty much a win-win situation.
And thanks to the link to the Koren site. Plenty there to while away the
idle hour!

Don't know about the manual, but had to toss my two cents into the
conversation on Picture Window Pro.
I used Picture Window Pro at home and Photoshop at work up through
Photoshop version 7 and never felt the need to spend the money on
Photoshop for my hobby photography. In fact, I felt Picture Window Pro
was clearly easier to use and understand, and at the same time every
bit as powerful as Photoshop. Many things were easier to accomplish.
Photoshop had the edge if you were processing big batches of stuff.
But for the hobby guy, doing photos one at a time, Picture Window Pro
did the trick.
When Adobe released Photoshop CS, they added several features that
made life easier for the photographer. They also added the raw
converter. At the same time I received a significant discount offer
from Adobe. Given the price, it was a no brainer to pick up a copy.
The CS2 version adds additional features that help the photographer.
I continue to use both. Photoshop is like the family station wagon.
Picture Window Pro is like a little sports car. It's fast and
powerful, but sometimes you need to bring 10 sheets of plywood home
from the lumberyard. For that, you need the family station wagon.
If you want more info on Picture Window Pro, check out Norman Koren's
web site at <http://www.normankoren.com/> It's loaded with great
info.
See you later, gs
