Thanks for the input Don, also storm and John Davis.
We already have ADPro, Brilliance and a demo of Art Effect (untried).
For the relatively reasonable cost of Photogenics and ImageFX we might get
them both.
Any more comments from users of these packages, with reference to our
requirements in original posting, would be appreciated.
Keep up the good work, all you guys who respond to people's problems, (Neil,
Tim, Matt et al), it all helps build up the knowledge of us guys on the other side of the planet who
can't just drop in to a store full of Amiga software. I know I learn something every day.
Cheers guys, Colin
