[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 819222, member: 13650"]I ran a search and didn't see an authoritative thread on this program so it is my hope that this one could blossom into something that could greatly help me and others. I just downloaded it today. Read a little about it and messed with it. Some say it can do everything photoshop can. True or not, I don't know yet.

From there I figure I can expirement doing other things with it. I've seen the elptical cutting tool, but even after deploying it, it only wants to crop in squares.
