Comparison of photo-editing packages and more.

Nancy, over at RetouchPRO, shared this link with us. Felt it was important enough to share here too. They have other links to compare other types of graphic packages (like vector for instance) as well. Pretty cool in a nutshell comparison and what OSs the various programs can run under. Bookmark it.

Nice link lyle.

Might be helpful for people looking for something specific.

I am not sure I see the value of comparing a few features between packages like this. It leads to folks (incorrectly) making statements like "Paintshop pro has 99% of the features of Photoshop". Further, that person might look at the price difference ( $60 vs. $600 ) and think they are getting all the features of Photoshop for a bargain. - not. I guess it is part of the problem with comparing some features... where do you draw the line on what is important (16 bit vs. 8 for instance), or the ability to also do vector graphics, a color managed environment, ability to proof view/edit for printer/paper combinations, the list goes on.

So -- nice list. Limited value in my opinion.
