Review by Tanya McHenry
So it took me a really long time to review this product, and I think the issue is I found out i really just don’t edit photos very often. Now I am not new with software, and I love computers but trying to get that perfect picture or artsy up a photo turns out not to be my hobby. I do have family members asking me about some of these programs though so I started it up again. Our verdict is very basic, with the understanding we used it for very basic effects.
The Auto Effects are pretty cool. They essentially take a realistic photo and turn it into something that is akin to an art project or painting or any other affect you’d like. I don’t know why someone would actually want to do it, but they were pretty thrilled with the results. All of these have a variety of settings so you can have field day messing with those. And for those of you who are wondering why I grabbed this in the first place, well I actually have a classic Bamboo Wacom tablet that I dabble with, most for sketches. I intended to do a lot more with that but right now I am still just dabbling with that, and the two work togethernnUpdates are obnoxious. You can’t just update from within he software. Corel requires you to go to their website, sign in and then grab the file. It’s not user friendly at all, and I can tell you several of my family members will simply not do it or even remember they have a Corel account. The tutorial videos are fine, but they require flash, which again is another link to an outside website and something several family members are likely going to give-up on
