I have to add that DPaint does an exceedingly bad job at
brush rotation. It seems to me that it ends up stretching
the brush even more vertically.

I'll have to check on this again. I'm pretty sure the
Rotate (Oh, that's MorphPlus, isn't it?) operator
is a perfect circle. The example they give is to rotate
the image of a coin which happens to be a 1:1 circle.

Never noticed. Usually I place the center of ripples
well off the image. Suppose you could always get
around it by scaling images vertically by 13/11ths,
rippling, and scaling back down. Hokey, but it also
antialiases.

That's why it has an ARexx interface. They expect
third parties to make batch processing front ends.
ADPro is just the engine. Composite Studio, MultiLayer,
FrED, etc. are the real applications.
