Negative .. I have the cd in a junk pile.  It is clumsy to use takes forever
t load anything and you cannot access any graphic outside of their program.
And yes it is windows only.  Fortunately I got mine cheap at a disposal
sale.  You also have to go through a screwball registration and if you have
a problem and need to reinstall it is a real mess.
