Nothing wrong with PhotoPaint what so ever. It's a very powerful app. I used from PP5 up to PP8. Started using PS with version 3 now using 5.5. I switched to Photoshop full time a couple of years ago and it wasn't because I thought PS was better but because of what Corel was doing to an outfit that I happen to like a lot (Xara LTD) at the time. Corel tried every trick in the book to bury Xara LTD and I'll never forgive them for it. Looks like I'll be dealing with Corel again though, because I'm a Brycer and I got to get Bryce5 even if it does leave a bad taste. Dave
