Existing users, 
I went to their website to download the manual. How? It's in a web style format. Using this type of format compared to an easily printed PDF file is almost useless when trying to print a hardcopy... Moreover, the $59.00 price given is VERY misleading. The $59.00 price is in Euro not dollars, which equals $75.00 USA. I retract my "probably worth" price to much
to high for me when I have GC. Sadly, it's an app overpriced and with a next to useless manual for printing up for a quick reference. In fairness, the website instructions are good.
I was debating to myself whether to purchase the app, now it's not even a consideration.

well... i think, a manual in pdf should be free for download regardless of my intention of buying or not. evaluating new software encompasses the manual - if there is no manual or a badly written manual, i would hasten to buy. and in the end, a searchable pdf manual would speed up the evaluation process a lot. making things complicated by a small player who wants to compete with photoshop (elements), is not a very clever move. PSE is appr. the same price...Monday, October 09 2006 @ 12:40 AM PDT

The comparison is more with PS than PS Elements because according to the spec PL32 handles CMYK. PS Elements cannot be used for professional-level work which will go to a (litho) printer because CMYK separation is essential. On this appraisal PL32 is very price competitive as a possible alternative to the full version of PS (costing about 8x as much) for less affluent graphics professionals!Saturday, April 28 2007 @ 12:55 PM PDT

PL32 is not comparable to GC but to PS, so the price is very good at all.You will get a printable PDF manual if you register PL32. Sorry for this, but I think customers who pay for their registration should have an advantage against hackers.
