It's a learning curve but all of them are. This does virtually everything the others do (Photoshop etc) but I'm not sure if it handles RAW files. Hopefully. If you're shooting in .jpg you'll have no problems. I'm adding a screenshot of just some of the tools and brushes available. Don't let it...

Cool and very cloudy today but I went up to Olinda in our Dandenong Ranges to visit our National Rhododendron Gardens. Spectacular at this time of year.

Whilst out looking at flowers to photograph, I found these 'Shrimp' plants. The red one, that I have seen many times and the not quite so common, green/yellow version. Justicia brandegeana. Cheers, Brad :)

Well designed pools and ponds are spectacular when they function well. In the first shot I tried to get some movement out of the water but it was a very bright day making it difficult. Cheers, Brad :)

A rather beautiful sculpture I found on my walk today. Cheers, Brad :)
