Very interesting. Though the 'smart selection' tool in CS3 also does a very good job, including very fine details, especially if you work at 200% or higher for the minute stuff such as hair,fur,feathers etc.

Of course it's easy for us to forget that CS3 tools are out of the reach of many!

But (Ron - are you listening? ) there is much good imaging software in the Microsoft toy box, but it's particularly well marketed.

Ever since MS acquired iView, I've heard relatively little, for example.

I must give MS' PR people a call about that.

Fluid Mask has still got the edge on all of them. Microsoft's Digital Image will never be able to compete with Photoshop. It does the job far to quickly and easy that people will miss having to have a Masters degree in editing. Plus they would have no excuse to buy an all singing all dancing computer to run CS3 on.

Behave Ron or I'll smack you with my handbag.

My PC isn't all singing and dancing. It's a 3 yr old jobbie, not especially powerful and I'll be using it until it finally croaks - same as I did with my Win98 one. Maybe you remember me resisting dumping that one and finally only doing so after a hard kick from Stephen? I hate changing 'puters. Hate it with a passion and always need to be shoved into doing it.

The CS3 quick selection tool is fantastic and very very quick and easy to use. Better than anything I've ever seen or tried from anywhere else.

I'm always well behaved. Just trying to get MS to notice how many plugs I give them. Time they sent me my free copy of Vista don't you think.
