We always need alternatives don't we? Where one applications fails the other may have a strength. I think for both MarkDC and myself we may want a third party to review these side by side. Let us both know where the advatages are from a users standpoint. I think with that, we can both improve our products. One thing I did notice, his utility is only 9.95 where as mine is 20.00. Of course mine does much more and is expandable through plug-ins. As for the breakthrough, this happened back in April in the form of an application, much earlier in the form of stripped CR2's being used. It would just be interesting to see how the two stack up to each other though.
