| | | The plugin crashed on me once, but I have not been able to reproduce the problem. It worked again after I restarted Photoshop.

| | | sounds a lot like a registry crash, where you havent rebooted yet to make a new reg entry take effect.

If so, maybe a Fill tool would be a useful addition to your plugin.

Some demos make me think, that for certain instruments like used in http://www.vertustech.com/downloads/...s/hair_pop.htm they used technology very similar to ours...
I wonder whether they read our paper.
And what do you think about it? |

| | well, i've only seen the demo too and we all know that demos put their best foot forward to show off their product at its best, but it does look impressive. seems pretty pricey for just a selection tool. however, i see a lot of folks struggling with selections and selection tools and i do also, so if it works as well as they say and show, then it might be worth it to a pro. but it's definitely outside the normal price range for hobbyists and amateurs. i'm definitely looking forward to trying a pc demo of it.
which reminds me, anything new on your product and getting it to work for us psp users?
