I have used this and the previous version, and very good has gotten even better. There's nothing like being able to selectively apply (esp. with a Wacom tablet) effects from traditional photographic filters to "far out, man". And it all looks very natural. Highly recommended. :D

Could you post a link to some sample images where you've used these filters? I'm curious to see them in action...
