Digital BW, The Print

Hi Graham

Looks like PictureWindow is starting to go down the
slippery slope too when the list this in their
features:
"Special Effects
\ufffd Posterize, tint, emboss, kaleidoscope, spiral, tile,
text, calendar and more."

I wonder if this kind of thing is programmers showing
off (I am a programmer so I can say this), meeting the
 needs of the web/design community or a complete
misunderstanding of what photographers do? 

Bloat or not, I am a happy PS user looking forward to
the release of CS2. But for someone starting from
scratch on a budget PWP looks like a reasonable way to
go.
