Wow!  Thanks for the head's up, Peter....That's a great program...and you're
hearing that from a person who's always using older graphic editors because
some of the new ones may not have a feature that I think I need, or want.

It doesn't do everything I want (like incremental rotation to a tenth of a
degree) but it does more in one place than any other program I've found.

Also has a few surprises...

It has a copy function (direct from scanner to printer), a very well thought
out thumbnail view of your directories (folders), post an email with a
picture directly from the program, create panorama pictures, create your own
filters (as well as use the "standard" ones that most programs have),
scans, has a very neat screen capture program that allows you to capture
just the active window, or the whole screen,  read video formats, MP3
formats, and a WHOLE lot of other formats ( except vector graphic! <G>),
create multipage images, etc.

It won't be replacing my Ulead program, or Photoshop, but it certainly does
more of the simple things, and a lot of the more complex functions if you
choose to use them, than any other program I've ever seen...and does it very
intuitively.  In my opinion, it is a must!
