LOL... I'd like to think that I'm more prone to pragmatism than to curmudgeonry, but well... :-) Aside from bitching, my reasoning is that if I need to upgrade, I might as well consider the competition. The price for Photoshop has always been a bit steep for the way I use it. I made my last upgrade while doing some university courses and got the educational discount but with the subscription I can't get away with anything like that. Other developers are improving their products too, so essentially, if they can do now what CS6 can do, it's what I need it for. The new features you mention are nice, of course, but not really on my must-have list. :-) Jostein
