- I also checked out the CIC demo, but wasn't blown away...it is definitely
- an interesting piece of work, but I don't know how practical it is...the
- interface really got to bother me...and the price...$900! $600 Higher Ed!
- Forget it! You have to show me something *VERY* impressive for that kind
- of price...I haven't heard anything more about the app either...no new
- demo version...it has been 1.0 on the servers forever...and I haven't
- received any email from the publisher in a long long time...are they still
- around???
-
- I also checked out a Swiss program called TIFFany...the company is looking for
- a US distributor...has anyone seen/used it?
-
- Guess we're all still waiting for a good image editing app...hope something
- turns up soon!
