 I just received SuperPaint 2.0 on an upgrade ($56) and I am very impressed
by the new abilities.  After I have more than just the few hours that I have
used it so far, I will give more comment, but at short first look I think 
that Silicon Beach has done it again.  Some of the new features of interest
are:
	Autotrace with true editable bezeer(?) curves-- this feature lets you
	select an object in the paint layer and have it automatically traced
	into an object in the draw layer.  You can adjust the degrees of 
	conformity to the original object, whether you want it traced with
	bezeer's or polygon arcs, the relative number of lines that it takes
	to create the trace as well as how rounded or squared you want the 
	trace to be.  Once an object is created, it can be switched from a 
	polygon trace to a bezeer and visa versa. (This is probably the
	best selling point!)

	Slant, rotate and distort in the draw layer-- I you liked Clickart
	effects, this is for you. I haven't tried the output on a lazer 
	printer yet, but it should keep full draw layer resolution.

	Freehand drawing of bezeer curves-- Draw a curved line and editable
	bezeer curves are matched to the line.

	Mixed fonts and styles in the same block in the draw layer-- This 
	using lazer fonts along with the slant rotate stuff has good potential
	in my eyes.
	
	Plug in modules for the paint layer tool pallet-- Some nice ones are
	included, like a caligraphy pen, a 3-d box tool and an assortment
	of "mixed icon burshes" (a brush that puts a random line of icons
	on the page as you move it, like feet, stars, drops, etc). A little
	time with RezEdit and you can probably have a field day with some of
	these.

Well thats all for now, lets here some other reactions. I'll try to be moere
critical in my next posting.
