I'd been thinking of upgrading to Parallels 5 in any case and this bundle is cheaper than the Parallels upgrade cost. Just as well really since none of the other apps have exactly set my pants on fire. I'd already bought Back In Time, which is reasonably good. Hyperspaces is OK, but I'm falling asleep even trying to remember what the others were.

There is a place for HDR portraits but they do have to be 'deployed' with some care. -- Cheers, Steve The reply-to email address is a spam trap. Email steve 'at' shodgson 'dot' org 'dot' uk

And they've reinstated DVD Remaster Pro for another 10000 sales. They're just making it all up as they go along. Daniele

They are rather, aren't they?
