Hi Klaus,

yes http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I had loved that review of yours. and I had a devil of a time finding it again when I needed to re-read it. Your articles are very hard to find on the web via google. I don't know if that's by accident or by design http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. I'm pretty sure I was searching for "Klaus Nordby" in google. In any case, thank you for the link and thank you for that awesome review http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Your review had given me great hope that it was a worthy upgrade http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. I just didn't fully comprehend the magnitude of how nice an upgrade it is (well at least for me to go from version 6 to version 8 http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif). And yes the first thing I did after I installed it was play with some brush strokes and then find the upgrade patch and uninstall Painter so I could apply the upgrade http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

So I may end up "finding" stuff that everyone else may say "ho hum -- we knew that already". But in just this first week, it's been feeling like a pretty satisfying upgrade. I'm rapidly losing any desire to go back to painter 5 or 6.
