story board (whiteboard) builds = stories=20 (designs) from images and folio. 
image editor.
presentation is like a simple slide = presentation. i=20 couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
 
the most sophisticated image operations = is in image=20 editor. image directory gives you a subset of those operations. folio = has a=20 slightly larger subset, and story board (WB) has yet larger=20 subset.
 
most of story board functions we have = in WB. they=20 have a quite a few rotate/flip image functions. i don't believe they are = needed.  i would think best image editor should be those the = designers=20 select to use. other people probably not good at using any image = editors=20 that are reasonable in capability. so, they really do not need to = provide=20 image editor, in my opinion.
 
system primitive, immature, and=20 not finished because some buttons do not work at all.
 
our WB is definitely not my pride = but=20 feature-wise, is 85-90% of what they have. for image category editor and review/edit system, interpix = built such a=20 java application with one person in a few weeks. of course, that could = be done=20 better too.
