Soon to be released are two more paint programs that work in HAM mode:

Photon Paint from Micro-Illusions
Deluxe Photo Lab from Electronic Arts

Both of these products expand considerably on the capabilities of Digi-Paint.
In eyeballing the two at CES in January, I thought Photon Paint looked like
the more impressive of the two. However, Deluxe Photo Lab also incorporates 
some color processing functions and poster printing.

And NewTek is promising an upgrade to Digi-Paint that is intended to add new
features that will answer the competition.
