You put together a team and come out with a product that competes with it, and then come back and let us know what you have to charge to make a profit. I work in commercial software development. Developing quality software takes a staff of people who are expensive and a lot of expensive time and other processes. I haven't used Photoshop a lot, but whenever I have used it it has worked well, which is more than I can say for a lot of software. This means they are spending the time and money needed to make it work and work well on multiple platforms. This is not cheap. And don't talk to me about GIMP. GIMP is gimpy and crippled by comparison. Pete - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
