Review by M. R. Simmons

This is a very good photo editing solution that offers more options than come with any software built-in to Windows, but is far more affordable than Adobe Photoshop. This will allow you to have more professional control over your pictures. I have to admit, this software is still very intimidating for most novice users. There are a TON options but they are there to provide the user with a lot more control over their photos. I am still learning all of the features, but I have been impressed so far with some of the editing that I can do to my pictures. There is a tutorial included with the software, and I found it to be generally helpful. The program also comes with very neat software to create panoramic pictures and virtual reality movies. I haven’t gotten anywhere near that part yet, but it is a very neat feature to add to an already powerful piece of software. I find that the more that I use it, the better and more comfortable I become.

I am not a very heavy user. I like to make simple edits to my digital pictures. This is far beyond what I need. However, it is nice to know that if my needs ever become more advanced, I’ll already have all of the most powerful tools already built-in to this program for a fraction of the price of Adobe Photoshop. I will continue to learn more about this program, and I am actually excited to see what it helps me to create.
