I looked at this new update and there doesn't seem to be much of which to speak.  This type of thing is not easy to do for sure, but $30 to upgrade gives me what exactly?

• 1. MorphBrush
• 2. TextureBrush Work Directly on Your Shapes/Textures, Retouch Freely!
• As a standalone import/export to Poser, Maya, 3D Max and other 3D applications
• New EASY 3-point interface
• Improved Texture mapping
• Improved 'Mirror' feature
• Up to 4098x4098 pixels output
• New 'Profile' features profile matching
• New 'Watch-me' video at your fingertips
• New Manual
• Moveable dialogs, resizable window
• Interactive 'Tooltips'

The final four items are nothing that should indicate a new major version - these should be given for any new major version.  It boils down to two new improved features and two features which don't seem to improve my output much (I can do morphing and texturing in other apps).

In my case, it isn't the photo-texturing that is most important either.  It is the shaping of the geometry to match the head in the photo that is my goal.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
