I also checked out the CIC demo, but wasn't blown away...it is definitely
an interesting piece of work, but I don't know how practical it is...the
interface really got to bother me...and the price...$900!  $600 Higher Ed!
Forget it!  You have to show me something *VERY* impressive for that kind
of price...I haven't heard anything more about the app either...no new
demo version...it has been 1.0 on the servers forever...and I haven't
received any email from the publisher in a long long time...are they still
around???

I also checked out a Swiss program called TIFFany...the company is looking for
a US distributor...has anyone seen/used it?

Guess we're all still waiting for a good image editing app...hope something
turns up soon!
