Jeff referred to this shot yesterday as an example of perspective correction 
with software.  I guarantee that the original looks quite different, with a lot 
of falling-over-backwards.

I deliberately, just for effect, over-corrected a tiny bit with Picture Window 
Pro, and Jeff was the only one who caught it.  Anyway, like Chuck says, you 
can't beat the bang for the buck with PW Pro.  Maybe when I outgrow it, if I 
ever do, I'll save up, or sell something, to finance Photoshop.

And what are layers?  I thought that was cake.
