My thanks to those who made suggestions a couple of weeks ago about
photo editors for eComStation.
I am running on eComStation 2.0rc4.
For this comparison my 'test' was to spray out the white spot of camera
red-eye on my 18 year old American Cocker's eyes.

I have downloaded, installed, and looked at: PhotoTiger, PhotoQueen,
JPhotoBrush, Pixel, Embellish, Impos/2
_
PhotoQueen (aka QueenCy)_
I had some trouble with the stability of this program. It sometimes
crashed on me. But I was able to select a colour for the spary tool .
You can adjust the spray texture (pressure) and size.
_
PhotoTiger_
PhotoTiger ran stable and looks and feels like a paint program. I
could get puppies eyes fixed OK. Registration is $30.00US
_
JPhotoBrush_
Java based this ran well on eComStation. It can handle large pics.
You can set the texture, color and spray size. $25.00
_Embellish
_ I couldn't bet Embellish to run until I copied the EPFIPII.DLL into
C:\os2\DLL\ Then the install program ran fine and Embellish worked.
They have a 'smudge' tool that worked nicely to darken the eyes but I
found choosing the colour a try by trial effort. I liked the effect .
Some of the other programs have much easier colour choosing interfaces.
Embellish has some funky special effects filters that for example make
your ordinary picture look like it was taken with a fisheye lense.
Might interest some people
_IMPOS2_
IMPOS2 presented a simple interface. It featured a scan option and
picture crop. If you've got PMView3000 skip this one. _
PIXEL_
Pixel cost $32.00 through Mensys. It had the most sophisticated
interface and tools. It was easiest to select a desired colour. The
spray was adjustable for texture and size. And this did the best job on
Puppy's eyes. (My subjective opinion of course).

Conclusion: All these programs do work on eComStation and present
different choices to the user. You should download them and test for
yourself. You will find one that suits your workstyle. For me I will be
purchasing Pixel for my use.

My thanks for your suggestions. I hope this reply is of some interest.
Just remember ... it's all in the eyes of the mouse holder.
