I hope the expenses cover Poutine and Schwartz's smoked meat.
Oh, and spruce beer too.
You forgot the St-Viateur bagels
You're right! My mistake. I love those bagels.
I like their offer. However I bought the IPad version the other day. Not impressed so far.....buttons small and hard to change levels, The stickers are so “gimmicks” What I have done is ok, but It does not compare in my view to Adobe’s IPad apps. Or other Apps I have bought. But its on me...I get so “app happy” at times. Should have given the $7 bucks to charity
Anyone on Fstoppers use their destop version? If so what is your take away with the product and would be a good addition or replacement for Photo Shop?
