As for Photogenics becoming a professional quality application... I would hope so for $699. I've always liked Photogenics and Paul is obviously an incredibly talented programmer, but $699?!?!? I was thinking as I was perusing the site that I might have to pick up the PC version of Photogenics, but can't at that price (incidentally, that is for the HDR version which admittedly looks outstanding).
