[quote steve...]My only concern is that I've only scratched the surface with version IX. Unless there's something I can't live without, I'll wait until after I get a new Mac before upgrading. I'll check out the trial download and watch for reviews.
IX-5 is a free upgrade and adds "Painting Palletes" which is AWESOME. No longer are you limited to a handful of brushes to do 'auto clone". The set of 3 palletes will let you choose just about any brush, set opacity, size, jitter etc. then auto paint with it. Stop when you want, adjust the brush or pick a new one and auto paint on. Then use the soft cloner to add back details.
Scott Kelby's Photoshop TV podcast had a special guest, Fay Sirkis, who did a demo on this feature last month. Check it out. I think you will be impressed enough to download the free upgrade.
Wonderful stuff.
