Glass Eye software

Figure I'd bring this up again since I first asked about stained glass
design software. I played with the 30-day trial and immediately
bought the Professional version. Wonderful software. Lots of
options. I've got several pattern books. I can scan them and then
import them into Glass Eye as a background where I can easily draw
over the designs. If I had forked over more cash, it would
automatically convert them to the Glass Eye format. I can also draw
my own designs (not something I like to do) or cut and paste elements
from existing Glass Eye patterns. About a hundred patterns come with
the software. There are also several CDs of Glass Eye formatted
patterns available on the market.

It's got some limitations for a vector graphics program, but I think
it's excellent. I would recommend it to anyone who is not well-
conditioned to hand-drawing their patterns.
