While I would prefer to keep ShowImage clean of such functionality (and 
add an "edit" button/menu item that could launch WonderBrush instead), 
I could live with having some basic functionality for photo editing 
easily available as long as it's of high quality, and with a nice user 
interface that doesn't get in your way. And doesn't add too much to the 
launch time, of course :-)

In any case, the resizer interface was way too barebone for my taste; 
if someone intends to resurrect it (easily possible from SVN history), 
please fix that before doing so.

Also, I would vote for either having all the usual photo editing stuff 
on-board, or none of them. I would prefer to add this stuff somewhere 
else, though.

Bye,
   Axel.
