Lumiere is rather nice (and has a few features that are
nearly unique [unsharp-mask sharpening is amazing...]),
but it renders ALL frames, not just ones that have been
changed, so it is VERY slow out-putting... BTW, I have
a spare unopened copy of the original Corel suite (the
extras are worth the price!) - first $100 + shipping...
