    Sadly, I have found no worthy replacement for this wonderful set of tools.

    My understanding is that the mathematics needed to create Filters, Actions etc for Photoshop (bitmap images) is trivial compared to that for vector-based artwork.

    Back when I was young ;) I used to keep a version of Illustrator 7 (I believe the last compatible version of Ai ) just to be able to use KPT... I should have kept an old mac running System 7 so I could still use KPT.

    Irreplaceable today – I'd love to see Kai, or someone, redo or re-release the effects.

    Below, a couple of doodles from 2002 using KPT Spherise effect...

    RIP KPT
