Of course it my not be so much a smile as trapped wind.  Big Sunday lunch and all that . . .

All I can say is that from what I've seen already at this early stage, there are tools to be included that you may like . . . . .

I'm smiling as you say that, but I'm not saying anything...

---

Did you have a big Sunday lunch too?

Didn't I just say I'm not saying anything?... Damn, I said something.

---

What was that, I wasn't listening - sorry.

Neither was I, I have no idea what I said because I was trying to think of the other thing that I thought Artrage needed. I had three things, the knife tool I mentioned, a bit of a performance boost, and something I can't remember which will annoy me next time I need to use it and it isn't there.

Well. I can't comment on the first two, but that third one is definitely in there (with the thing you'd never have thought of in the first place).

If they've added an automated "create great artwork" button, then I'll order it now. Unless it's something that nobody would ever think of because it's something nobody would ever want or use.

Hang on. How did they think of something nobody would ever think of, that's impossible?

I thought we had that covered through the 'Accept any crap and call it art because we don't think anyone has thought of calling it art before' lobby that seem to run the fine art market.  Have I misunderstood again?  Damn!  Good job I'm not cynical anyhow.

 

These guys live in New Zealand.  They think differently to us 'stick in the mud' Brits.  Even though a couple of the guys came from the UK.  Guess the mud must be different down there too.

Ah, that explains it. Their brains work anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere or something. And New Zealanders are very short, I saw a film about them once, fighting Orcs and Trolls and...

And they are all left handed and have hair on their feet apparently.  I wonder which side of the road they drive, if they can reach the pedals on their cars?

They ride ponies or they walk.

I knew that rubbish about riding on the backs of giant eagles and walking, talking trees must be made up!

That's exactly my thought about all version of Photoshop. Then they screw with the format compatibility just so you are forced to upgrade. But seriously, what doea CS2 or CS3 has to offer me that Photoshop 6 doesn't? All I ever use is this one single flat brush and all those other basic crap.
