“some great image editing features” Pam Atkins
“Has come a long way from its early days when vector and bitmap editing was quite separate and confusing. Now it’s all seamless and it’s certainly an ideal tool for web work” Wendy Phillips
“it communicates very well with flash and it’s easy to work with” Paulo Gingao
“i enjoy the ‘batch editing’ trick: you can lighten and optimise a folder full of images. Expensive, unless you have statewide educational licensing deal.” Michael Chalk
