Doug, have you tried it?

[Doug Nelson]

No, that's why I posted the link, so someone else can and report back

I've downloaded and have tried out the earlier too versions. I really like the motion blur and the sharpen filters. Still, I've not been that overly exhuberant about the program. I'll wait til it gets to beta and try it out (don't want my aging computer to crash).

ewww .net required....that's no good. In my experience .net apps have been horrendous bloatware apps.

Maybe the faster chips out and about will make a difference, but not too sure.

look around the site. you'll find a non-.net version, 2.72.

For what its worth, my McAfee SiteAdvisor says a small percentage of the downloads contain adware, and other unwanted items-you decide if its worth checking out. I dont think I will.

Maybe it is bloat, but so was Visual Basic in it's time. I have used a lot of cool programs for .NET and don't really see an issue with it. Again, .NET is the Visual Basic of it's time. Since Microsoft pretty much gave the tools to programmers for free, you'll see a lot more programs that use .NET, I guarantee (just the poet in me).
