It was definitely better than I expected. While it has some filters that are mainly pattern based, it does have some standard filters too. I was more impressed with the cloning, blur,rub,blur 2, etc... very good tools and when it came to touching something up, it was very precise.
Of course there is a lot more to it, like the different brush types and very smooth painting and filling capabilities, good selection tools, not at all hard to learn to use.
I found this a step between Gimp and a basic editor, more toward a basic editor but still, extremely good with what it does have and more than enough for near any standard user. As stated, I was very impressed with the touch up or effect tools and inclined to think I will be using this for basic photo touch ups from here on.
