Thanks, Shadow. I definitely will check this one out. However, I looked
for a feature comparison between the free version and the "Studio"
version but was unable to find one. In the comments section for the
program on Majorgeeks, "turnipweed" said, "It's a good start, but I miss
the scanner function. I like to scan directly into PhotoFiltre and edit
before I save the scan."

This wouldn't be an problem for me though, because I always scan from
within another ($ware, but I got it with my scanner) program.
