I hold in my hands Imagine v1.0 which arrived yesterday.

The Tutorial Manual is 75 pages, bound the same as the Reference
manual that came with v0.9, but it has 17 tutorials in it, with a lot
of pictures to help you along.  There are some ideas in there that I
haven't thought of myself.  Basically, the manual describes the usage
of various features, at hand of examples (some of them get fairly
involved).  A tiny-printed 12 page errata sheet gives a lot of nice
information on the textures and the special f/x.

Textures: checks, bricks, grid, wood (used also for marble),
          disturbed, angular, linear, radial, and dots.

F/X: explode, ripple, grow.

You know what I'll be doing this weekend :-)
