Review by R. L. H.

A great alternative to Photoshop - does everything Photoshop does, even uses Photoshop plug-ins, only without the Photoshop price gouging.

This new version is 64 bit. Great, but for some reason, this 64-bit software still takes forever to load and still shows sluggishness in various areas of the app, like pulldown menus, etc, even on a ultra hot system with SSD drives. Still trying to figure that out. Must be written in the clunkiest, most bloated software development product ever devised by mankind, Microsoft Visual Studio. That would explain everything.
