    Something I've ranted about often. The cross platform support for Serif's own products is near non-existant.

    Pageplus doesn't support/can't import native drawplus files.

    Compare this to adobe where you can import an .ai file into ps. and it keeps all your layers intact. I think that PS was originally meant to be used purely as a photo editing tool until artists discovered it and then it took off as an image creation too and adobe started to support that side of the product too.

    I look forward to a review.

    This is certainly in keeping with my experience. I hardly do any photo editing anymore; Photoshop is my painting program.
    Regardless of whether or not Serif PhotoplusX3 is actually the more functional software with a better interface, they'll have a lot of ground to cover to catch up with all the resources that are available for the Adobe Creative Suite.

    It just seems to me that this product is the slightly-less-poor man's Photoshop.

    Even if that's true I'll still be interested. I'd have to sell someone else's child to afford CS4.
