I love the concept of Divine, I am huge fan of Sitegrinder, another plug in for Photoshop that allows me a total Designer to build really sharp websites in a tenth of the time. I see Divine as being the blog side of Sitegrinder. I am very excited about your product.
Two ideas:
First your documentation and movies are very very week. For instance, what do I do on the photoshop side? Are a lot of layers okay or should I flatten parts of it before I run divine on it? Is there more than one template? You keep saying the free version is limited and only has so many features. What do the paid versions have? A comparison chart would be good.
Finally your videos, they are so small no matter how much I zoom in on my browser I have a hard time seeing them. There doesn't seem to be any sound or talking (see Lynda.com, that is what I am looking for) on your videos.
Must I upload it to my account through FTP, I want to do that manually, I suggest adding that option to write it to my hard drive to manually upload the files.
DOCUMENTATION! First and foremost! Please!
Divine
With Divine Free Edition, you can convert ANY Photoshop design to a WordPress theme. Divine was developed for those who know a bit from Photoshop and sites creation but don't want to get bored marking up a valid site on the basis of CMS manually. By the way, the site gets uploaded to the server via the built-in FTP-client.

Thank you so much for healthy criticism :) That's what we're here for - to take your remarks into consideration.
Divine works with any kinds of layers, so there's actually no need to change them in Photoshop. You can create or adapt the existing layouts to our grid (we'll soon publish instructions on ithis issue).
Your note about the comparison chart is brilliant, and we're now working on this, it'll soon be published :)
About the video - please expand it to the entire screen (there's also HD format available). For now the sound is missing, but we'll fix it.
Temporary files are saved here: Temp/DivineTemp/Preview
In the nearest program releases you'll get a possibility to select a folder for the temporary files.
upd: Good news! We're announcing a new feature in Divine Elemente (formerly Divine Personal) - Layout editor
Please leave your comments, questions, ideas about Layout editor

For example: I were to create a site with a Header and then I wanted a navigation bar directly underneath that there is no option to insert that using the layout options. I know you have a sidebar integrated and that can be moved from side to side but I would also like to see another addition of adding a nav bar as well. Thanks in Advance and keep up the great work!
