Check it out. If nothing else, it'll be nice to Photoshop to have some serious competition.

As soon as I get a bit of time to check it out I will. I hear their illustrator-like product is good (from someone else; I haven't looked at that either). It would do all of us a world of good if Adobe got a little nervous about their market status.

I've spent a half hour with it just learning my way around. Very impressive! I do miss Auto-Align Layers and Auto-Merge Layers, so useful for stacking, which I use a lot. I put in a feature request.

I signed up for the windows beta. After seeing what its like on youtube, I think I will probably switch to this from photoshop elements when they have it working well on windows.

There's going to be a Windows version then?
Excellent! I'll happily pay £40 to buy a license to use something like this.
I'm still at "Only when it's a Cold day in Hell" for me to pay subs for software!

Here's the link to get informed when the windows beta is out.

I would think about an Adobe subscription if they made my portfolio on FT visible again

Again, a good vector drawing program at a decent price would be welcome. Inkscape is OK as a free option, but Illustrator has always been expensive.

I don't like any of these big companies getting too comfortable with their market position. A bit of proper competition keeps things realistic for the users. Whatever the market.
