Amen, brother! I believe!
I've been using PWP since v. 3.0. I happened upon it when I first
started scanning film, around the turn of the century (geez, doesn't
that sound long ago?). I saw that PWP did what I needed. PWP's price
was close to that of the stripped-down versions of Photoshop. But PWP
was sort of like a full-bore PhotoShop equivalent designed by a
photographer--rather than by a software engineer who thought he was a
graphic designer. Could I live without layers? Yeah. I bought it, and
I've been happy with it ever since.
I'm sure I'll upgrade. I'll just watch the message board for a few days
or weeks. There are guys there who will find any bugs, which the author
will fix in short order.
