I have been using GraphicConverter since the beginning. It is incredibly powerful. Anyone who subscribes to the GC mailing list knows how active GraphicConverter development is. It is a constantly evolving program. Thorsten Lempke seems to devote his life to this software. I own Photoshop CS3 but I still use GraphicConverter for many tasks. I paid full price for GC in 1996. I was happy to pay for an upgrade in 2002. I will happily pay for this upgrade.
