Review by Amazon Customer

My wife is an aspiring artist, she loves painting and working with various media. She has been working through a number of books, and was ready to move onto some original works. We take photos everywhere we go so have a great deal of photos to inspire her. That’s where this software comes in. We have been using it to manipulate photos, primarily with the art media and artistic effects. It has been very helpful in aiding her to translate photos to her own artwork.

The volume of effects, and changes you can make is a bit daunting, so I recommend writing down what you did in order to reproduce the effect on other photos. Not only are there a lot of effects, but there are also settings within most effects. It gives you a great deal of flexibility in playing with the images.

Overall, this has been a great tool. There is a learning curve involved, but it’s not really steep.
