I do wish that apps could compose like command line tools. It'd be nice if you could apply a texture in Blender and then if you wanted to tweak it launch a window from Photoshop to edit it. Not launch Photoshop the whole app, just the

Too late to edit it now, thanks for the correction. I knew there was a vowel in there and it was just "BSL" as the Wikipedia page has it. My bad.
