Actually, that's the problem -- there *are* so many editors, and each one has a different interface and different limitations. I much prefer to just use one editor that has all the capabilities I need. It's important to use the right tool for the job, certainly, but image editing has the same basic primitives regardless of whether it's quick and dirty or a major project. Having to remember different commands to do curves, sharpening, denoise, levels, and such isn't very productive. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> MIT VI-3 1987 - Congratulations MIT Engineers men's hoops Final Four!
