I agree. It's OK if you only ever want to edit one 320x256 image at a time...

Up to a point this is true, but it seemed not too bad with VMM. The program
has really come into its own since I got a 16M SIMM however, and the speed
is pretty good. What really slows it down is if you use a DBLPAL or whatever
screen mode - but if you stick to normal PAL, the speed is fine.

The thing I like about Photogenics is that it feels quite "organic" (cringe) 
in use, and is great for subtle effects and image composition. I couldn't
live with it on its own though - I have to use the NetPBM toolkit for
certain types of image processing. The combination of the two I find quite
powerful.
