Ben, reading Erik's reply, I remember this cloning function I've been meaning to tell you about for a long time. It's incredibly easy to retouch an image with it: removing a garden hose on the lawn, for example, by cloning nearby grass. The function uses the current airbrush settings, so the operation is wonderfully hard to detect; and of course, you get immediate feedback, but that's another topic altogether. This is one important image processing tool (some people make a good living using only that, plus brightness/contrast) which has been missing from Imagemaster. (You know, I have this feeling someday you'll be reading this section, having gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and explode in a torrent of "these users want to have every function under the sun in a program that costs bloody $135!" Please, never mistake my posts for whining; I tremendously enjoy the opportunity given me by this Forum to have an ongoing conversation with someone I feel very grateful to, and a lively online personality too! I just like exploring the possibilities of what could be, what isn't, and the reasons behind it all) Blaq!
