Deep Paint works with Photoshop 7 and earlier, It is not compatible with CS as yet (another reason not to use 'Deep Pain' oops seem to have dropped the 't'!). They've been working om getting it compatible for ages, Photoshop was released october last year and they still haven't got their finger out! Hey Cryptojoe, Snagit? thought that was a capture app? & PS 7, PS Image Ready, you can't really seperate Photoshop from Imageready as they are packaged together. Can you even install Photoshop without Imageready?
