Sorry Paul that's just wrong. "Cracked" software works just fine >But what does any of this have to do with insisting on open source >software? What's the motivation there? That was my question. Cost Here CS3 runs at about AU$800, CS3 Extended about AU$1200. GIMP & other open source SW runs at about AU$0. As an example I own PTGui for stitching my panoramas. I bought it before I knew about Hugin. Hugin, is open source, does everything that PTGui does, and is free.
