CUTTING EDGE F/X FOR PHOTO-PAINT 9 RELEASED!

Finally! We've been receiving and reading your emails, wondering when Cutting Edge F/X for Photo-Paint 9 would see daylight. We're pleased to tell you that the day has arrived. We waited (and waited and waited) for the first Service Pack for Photo-Paint 9. The good news is that during all of that waiting, we had time to create more than double the number of effects in version 1 of CEF/X. With over 100 listed effects, over 300 subeffects, and THOUSANDS of options, you're sure to find that cool effect you've been looking for. Your favorites from version 1 are still there, but now you'll have twice as many new effects to choose from! Download the demo from: http://www.cedesign.com/cefx/demo.html Check out the effects previews at: http://www.cedesign.com/cefx/previews.html (Of course, CEF/X for Photo-Paint 8 is still available.) Order here.
