You've made me more interested in giving DS a try, but even more to spend some time in Hexagon. I'm always amazed when a company spends a lot of money to buy a product only to essentially abandon it. Corel still upgrades Painter, but doesn't put much effort into promoting it--they seem to prefer Paintshop Pro. Corel has just about abandoned Kai's Power Tools, but it still has some excellent filters that have yet to be beat by any newer Photoshop Plug-in.
