Picture Window Pro - now a free download

You might not have heard of this photo-editing program, but some may remember a spreadsheet program named "Lotus 1-2-3". The creator of Lotus 1-2-3, Jonathan Sachs, was a programmer who co-founded Lotus Development Corporation in 1982 and created the first version of the 1-2-3 spreadsheet program. He is also the creator of "Picture Window Pro" (PWP). After many years of development as a commercial product, PWP is now a free download from Digital Light & Color's website (www.dl-c.com). The program offers these features:
