John, I haven't spent more than half an hour playing with it, so I'm not in a position to really throw in much of an opinion yet, aside from "Wow, this is pretty neat". I do find it a little awkward to use though, but I'm sure I'll get used to it (like when I read the instructions! <g>). That does bring on another point… online help is great, but I hate not having a printed manual that I can browse through while messing with the program! Regarding the anti-aliasing you mentioned, I'm not sure in what respect your talking about, but after reading your message I fiddled with it a little and found this: go into the area menu uptop and select 'transparency controls'. Set the edge slider to one or click on the 'soft edges' button. This I believe is supposed to anti-alias the selection areas, it did for me. You can also feather the edges to any degree using that slider. I hope thats what you where talking about. David
