Well, it may not be perfect, but I still think DPaint is a 6 on a scale of 1 to 5 … love that program! Here's a "feature" I ran into the other day, and thought I'd let you know about it for (hopefully) some future release. I was in lo-res, and exploring the "symmetry" option. Lesee, it was set for "cyclic 6" as I recall. I tried choosing "rectangle" and "circle" icons, and when the shape was drawn, 4 of the "other" 5 symmetrically placed shapes were distorted (the one diametrically opposite the "original" one was OK. This happened with both the "filled" and "open" shapes. BTW, this worked just fine (i.e., without distortion) when I used the "elipse" and "polygon" shapes. One other suggestion … a "knob" for setting the aspect ratio would be nice in a future release. Right now, circles aren't *quite* circles, and the "grid" isn't *quite* square. All in all, it's still a "6" though! /kim
