Website states $79.. I think it might be worth it.. I've always wanted this program.
which website?
I used version 5 ( I think, there were so many incremental updates once it hit version 4. And there had to be it was extremely buggy).
I liked the way this software worked: spray on any color over the region you want, change the mode to any effect you want eg blur, sharpen,, black and white, etc, and the painted region is replaced with the effect and becomes a layer siting over the original image. You can then alter the transparency, the edge blending of the effect layer with the underlying image, and finally merge it with the original image by "fixing" it. Masks? bah, just spray and fix! Even better, if you wanted to spray paint directly with the effect, you could, so more and more of the effect came out the longer you sprayed on the same region, in real time.
I'd seen similar things with PC software, but even on an Athlon x2, the 68060/ CV64 combo with photogenics was faster to spray the effect on in real time, and kept up as you moved your pointer so you got smooth curves rather than interpolated straight lines as you painted. I never did use the PC version, but I read a review at the time that said Adobe and Metacreations should be ashamed of just how slower they were than photogenics.
