Along with procedural box, circle or color-range selection, that you could later move the pick point. and procedural cut, copy and paste (allowing to move source/target around) Cumulative Dodge & burn brush that didnt oversaturate if you didnt want it to. An edit mode where you could see all Paint strokes that were all filtered and optimized with few points, and easily animatable in groups or individually with definable pivots. Color Lookup curves that you could animate their shape in time, All sorts of color space conversions Tracking that could very effectively see through noise.. The next best thing (for many things) was unreachable flint/flame stations for a really long time, until Nuke 6 (or 7?) (some 15-20 years later) ah! the regressions ;]  they should have ported it to linux. Would love to use it on a box with more than 500mb of ram :) (and higher than 8 bit depth) On 12/19/14 2:01, Graham D.
