Review:

This product is underrated. Not many people know about it but it is exceptional in many ways. It is quite simple to use and provides functionality that is almost to the same level of photoshop and paintshop. Although, it doesn't quite provide as much functionality as these software packages, however, it comes quite close to competing with them when it comes to the more common features that the average person or the amateur developer would use in daily life.

Some features and effects that it offers with mere clicks of a button require quite a good deal of work in other photo editing software. It allows you to manage your photos very efficiently. It also lets you specify not only the file type of the photo but also the quality at which you wish to save it so that you can reduce the file size of the photos.

It has alot of hidden features which are very useful to more professional photo editors and it allows them to accomplish tasks alot fasther than some of the other software out there for these purposes..

Has some good features for creating photos for the web or for CD albums and some great features for correcting digital photos...

Unfortunately, the software needs a little getting used to and can be a bit confusing to start with and can a take a while to load up!

Conclusion:

Quite a useful program to have if you take a lot of pictures. But not a good idea if you have a slow computer (512 RAM or lower)
