I rented this program a while back for a week. It seemed to me that stuff like
drawing is a pain because it tries to dither your lines and I couldn't see how
to turn that off. The result are lines which aren't solid, crisp, and black while
only being x bits wide. Kind of a pain since I was trying to touch up a line 
diagram with no color. Other than that, it seemed really neat and powerful. I
might still buy it and use it in conjunction with my other cheapo color prog.

Sombody explain to me why ColorIt and Expert Color Paint look like the same
program. I was very surprised to see that myself.
