I have recently switched from Paint Shop Pro to Picture Window Pro
(www.dl-c.com), and I am much happier. I know others on the list use
PWP too. It has some of the same appeal as OMs: it's much simpler than
PS (or PSP), it's powerful, and it is oriented towards photographers'
needs. Norman Koren has a nice introduction to PWP at
