Fast and light. GIMP still weight.
V3.05
it is too big and needs memory, but the author claims to reduce it in last version. Wonderful possibility: recover the shadow area in picture!!!
Seems like another Photoshop clone, the interface and some of the features. But it's tabbed image editor, not MDI like Photoshop. It exports and imports many formats, many obscure. But it's still not up to par with other image editors. It has a very quirky interface, which flickers quite often. The memory usage can get pretty high > 128 MB. The hotkeys don't work as expected, such as CTRL+A. It just feels buggy and unstable at the moment, I eventually had to kill it with task manager as it froze up. I guess time will tell how this image editor turns out.
Absolute junk. It's a memory hog with klunky controls, and GPF'd with the very first JPEG I tried to rotate with it.
The English misspellings on the splash page should have told me to leave it alone, but by then, it was too late.
Uninstalled.
A great picture editor. However, some messages were written in non-Latin characters, impossible to understand.
