Not exactly Photo Shop, yet far easier to use photo editor. Great for home use & basic photo editing. Has most applications home photo editors will use without the extras hat Photo Shop has, and without the complexity either.
If you are looking for a basic photo editor for home applications, you’ve found it! Easy to use & learn without the complexity of a professional photo editor. This has everything you’d need for most applications, however if looking for a full-use, professional editor, I’d still go for the Gold Standard, Photo Shop, yet most of us don’t need & don’t use all of the pro features a program like photo shop provides.

Takes a bit for slower computers to kick up the CD-ROM drive (I’d suggest loading this on you HD if possible) seems OK on computer with faster processor and CD-ROM/DVD drive. The first disks take a little fishing around with unlabeled tabs, but this could be intentional to get your mind into another space???nnFun and easy to use.includes flash card type games, lots of repetition of vocabulary and as much on pronunciation as you’d like.

In its early years, this operating system was one of the most unsatisfactory I have ever used — including DOS, Win 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98.
Aside from being incompatible with older hardware, XP Home Edition crashed frequently — especially if you often work with several windows open at once as I do. This was particularly unhelpful. As a writer, I was forced to save documents no less than once for each new sentence, and at touchy moments, literally every few words.

I have to agree with other positive Vine reviews. This program zips and does it well.
The additional feature, converting files to .pdf format, comes in handy as well — and if (unlike me), you’ve bought the program — for a lot less money than most .pdf conversion programs cost.
The watermarks are also a fantastic idea, to protect intellectual property on the internet, among other things.
TurboTax update installation lately has been giving me headaches, big headaches.

I built a family tree more than 20 years ago, the old fashioned way, on paper.
I based in on interviews with grandparents, parents and cousins. There was no internet database in those days, and documents were extremely difficult to come by.
Even a visit to Ellis Island did not produce information concerning the ship on which my paternal grandmother arrived, as a child, with her mother, my great grandmother.
