Review by Sasha Q.

I was a bit disappointed in this product for two major reasons:nn1) The amount of functionality you get from the different photo editing products does not equate to the amount of memory it takes to run the programs, and the amount of resources they use. If you are going to use this software only occasionally, then the impact will be minimal, but I would definitely not recommend this package for heavy use.

2) While some of the programs do perform functions that are rather unique to Corel, many of the functions can be found in less expensive software products (even free), so shop before you buy. Also, the graphic output files that these products produce are for the most-part proprietary to Corel. That is, the output files it creates are not in a standard format and cannot be later uploaded and used in other photo editing programs. This is a definite drawback.

On the plus side, there are functions that this software has that are fun and make great projects for families. When my grandchildren visit, the photo painting software gets a lot of use, and is a great, creative alternative to video games. My eldest grandchild has even created several calendars for herself! I also understand that the scrapbook software has some nice features, but, since I am not a scrapbooker, I suggest you study the other reviews for more information on those features.
