    Practice map going really well. This thing has a look and feel so close to PS it's almost uncanny. This is great for me as I don't have to go through a whole new learning process so the learning curve is shallow.

    The only thing I'm missing are the keyboard shortcuts so far.

    Filters:

    The filters that come with it mirror PS filters pretty much - there are a couple of different ones (e.g. page curl - which Paintshop Pro has) - may be useful if you want a map with a page curl I guess. Native filter list in the image below.

    My version shipped with a third party filter set called 'Machine Wash' which specialises in producing a 'distressed' look - perfect for old maps. Haven't been this excited about a new filter since the 'jiggle' filter in Eyecandy. It has 240 effects, each one adjustable.

    So far this is getting 2 thumbs up from me all the way.

    It's also got a screen capture feature which I missed from my paintshop pro days. It looks like these guys have put the best of PSP and PS together....I'm now even more impressed than I was a couple of hours ago. File menu drop down list attached along with what the general interface looks like.

    I'll try to stay objective but I can feel 'fanboi-dom' coming on. Must....avoid...fanboi.
