I tried Picture Window Pro recently when I was looking for a 16 bit editor that didn't cost the arm and several legs that Adobe wants for Photoshop CS3. I liked it but couldn't get my head around the multiple windows it created every time I made some sort of adjustment. Short of saving every window as a separate file, I couldn't work out how to save the workflow created by all of the various adjustments. The program doesn't seem to have an easy way to allow the user to tweek the processed image further at a later date. If the program created a layer stack that could be saved in a single file (like PS and PS Elements), I probably would have bought it.
