"you're right, as is the previous commenter who speculated that I have a copy from work (no one considered GIMP? :) )"
I did consider it, but I saw screenshots of the Photoshop toolbox in one of the chapters of your publication The Bastards Book of Ruby [1].
I could never get used to the GIMP, though. I've worked with Photoshop since 1993, I'm stuck in my ways. I have often wished for a leaner program that would let me do simple tasks that I usually do in PS – GraphicConverter satisfied some of those needs for years. Then, Pixelmator 2 [2] came out, and nowdays I find myself using it about as often as Photoshop. It's lean, has a gorgeous UI, and it works almost the same as Photoshop. For web graphics, it has all I need. For print, I still (have to) use PS.
