New Interface Features

Animated tutorials (menu Help-TutoriaI) New STOIK Tutorial Engine built into this release of Picture Man 4.2 enables scripting of all actions within the program interface (such as opening menu and dialogs, operating with controls, mouse moves). Animated tutorial plays back the script together with textual comments so that Picture Man completely imitates user actions in automatic mode. Animated tutorials are designed to help users learn non-trivial retouching methods and unique features of Picture Man interface.
