I have that on my mom's 10.2 system. She *kind of* likes it but still
misses Photoshop. She had been using Photoshop since version 4.x on her
Mac and then Win98 machines.  Apparently when I switched her over to
openSUSE and forced her into using GIMP, she basically gave up on photo
editing. Even with GIMPShop, it doesn't work the way she wants.

Ah well!
