Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Edit: I was pleased with it while I used it. But since posting the review below, I've stopped using it in favor of the (now free) program Picasa, available through Google.
``````````````````````````````````
I tried a bunch of other programs and free trials, and this one packed the most stable and useful features into the cleanest, most intuitive, and most convenient package.
I especially like the design of the cropping tool, the ease of assigning and customizing the categories while organizing, and the clean simplicity of the interface. I'm perfectly capable of using complicated programs, and figuring out how to use programs that aren't very user-friendly. But when you're trying to organize a ton of digital photos, why make it more work than you have to?
Paint Shop Photo Album 4 does what it does very well, and does all of the things I would ask a photo album program to do.
It makes it easy to print, share, and organize my photos. For quick photo touchups, resizing, rotating, adding captions, and the other kinds of edits that an average home user would want to make to their photos, the editor included in this program is quite suitable, and does a very nice job.
It also has a nicer format for creating web pages to share photos online than most of the other similar programs I tried.
I've been using the 30 day free trial, (which is a full version rather than a chopped down sample) and my time is almost up, so I am definitely going to by this program.

PhotoImpact 8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently received the assignment from my boss to evaluate the various digital photography/image editing programs in the ~$$$ price range. Included were:
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0
- Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9.0
- Ulead PhotoImpact 8.0
- Jasc Paintshop Pro 9.0
My review centered around three criteria: image mainpulation, advanced design and photo effects, and suitability for making web graphics. I spent a total of 16 hours on the various programs performing a pretty intensive evaluation in order to determine which product to select for our business. (We needed to purchase a large site license and so there was a lot of $$$ at stake.)
I will tell you that, much to my surprise, PhotoImpact came out on top - not just overall but in each of the three areas individually, as well. I say "to my surprise" because it's definitely the underdog. It doesn't have the kind of sensationalism that the other seem to have, and you don't see it advertised all that much. But it's definitely the champ.
I found PhotoImpact and Paintshop Pro the easiest to use when it came to digital photography features. (Photoshop Elements was far too difficult for business use, and Digital Image Pro far too simplistic, in my opinion.) But PhotoImpact takes the cake in this area because its drag-and-drop orientation is very straightforward.
When it comes to the higher-end design features, PhotoImpact was the clear winner. It supports Adobe's plug-in architecture, so all of the cool filters you can get for Photoshop (and elements, for that matter) are compatible with PhotoImpact. But PhotoImpact gives you a much greater degree of control over customizability than Photoshop Elements, the no. 2 contended in this second area, in my opinion. Once again, it's very easy to create some spectacular effects: There's built-in sophisticated vector drawing (which none of the other evaluated products have), as well as 3D text with some outstanding effects.
And, lastly, in the area of web graphics, PhotoImpact came in tops with Paintshop Pro following second. PhotoImpact has a great system for compressing GIFs, plus it includes a GIF animation application that's really sweet.
Anyway, I hope this helps all you image editing shoppers. Wish I had seen this sort of review upfront; it would have made the decision much easier for me,

PhotoPlus X2 Digital Studio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PhotoPlus X2 is a very good photo editor. It is operates in a similar manner to Photoshop in many aspects though it is not as powerful as CS3 or CS4.
PhotoPlus X2 is similar in features and power to Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate. Both programs are more powerful than Photoshop Elements versions 6 or 7. An additional bonus of PhotoPlus X2 not offered with Paint Shop Pro is compatibility with 3rd party Photoshop plugins.
Pros:
Basic editing such as color adjustment, sharpening, lens filters, cloning etc are easy to find and use.
Photo resizing is excellent - the best that I have seen! (I am referring to taking a small photo and doubling it in size. Most programs leave the photo in a fuzzy condition. PhotoPlus X2 somehow doubles the photos with less fuzziness.)
The lens vignette function is really a nice feature to have. If you use a polarized filter, often times the sky on one side of the photo will be much darker than the other side. The lens vignette function largely eliminates this problem.
Cons:
The sharpen slider in the Quickfix studio works in chunks rather than in a linear fashion - 0,50 etc. You must type in a sharpen amount in the box next to the slider and then sharpen in a linear fashion - 28,29,30,31 etc. Serif verified this bug in Sept 08.
The makeover studio requires several steps similar to Adobe Photoshop - creation of editing masks. Paintshop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate thankfully does not require the creation of masks to do makeover tasks.
All in all an excellent photo editor that will generally run quite nicely on older hardware - Pentium 4, 3ghz with 3gb of ram.

Corel Paint Shop Pro X Scrapbooking Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This software is wonderful! I have been trying to find a good program to scrapbook digitally for many years. I've tried Broderbund (sp?) whose interface was too clumsy, Nova which was rather difficult at times (many things you can't do) and now this. When I first took this out of the package and installed it I thought I had made the wrong decision with this software since there were very, very few backgrounds, templates or embellishements even when I opened the Xtras CDs that came with this. I truly did not feel the Xtras CDs were worth purchasing since there are very few things on them. But then I found the tutorials that are included on the CD and watched the one about making collages. I didn't get halfway through the video - I had figured out how to do it. I have now created some of the best scrapbook pages I've ever made. Within hours I had a beautiful collage/letter to send with my holiday cards. My husband's first impression was a heartfelt "It's lovely". What has so throughly convinced me of the abilities of this software is that I can take ANY image and make it a background, I can create and manipulate text almost any way I want, I've been able to create my own embellishments as well as using downloaded embellishments from websites that sell it (.png format). I feel like I have no limitations on what I can do now. I imagine this software is not as sophistacated as Adobe Illustrator, but then it probably isn't as complicated to use (from what I remember that program has a rather steep learning curve).
You can also use the eyedropper tool to "pick up" any color from any picture, background, or element (read "anything") in the program. I was able to take the background colors and make embellishments that matched! I can take a color from one of my pictues and make a background that matches. You can also remove backgrounds from photos - it takes a bit of time to do, but the area around the image will be transparent - this functionality has many uses. You can also save your files in many different formats including .jpg for file sharing, etc. There are so many more features I couldn't possibly list them here, nor would you want me too (too much time).
If you only use premade templates and don't feel ready to venture out on your own yet this software may not be for you unless you find a website that sells templates for this software. You could start with something like Nova Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 3.0, which I liked, and when you start becoming really frustrated by its limiations it may be time to move up to this program. You may also want to read a book about digital scrapbooking to give you ideas and alert you to possibilities.
The great thing about this program is that it isn't just for scrapbooking. You can do all your photo manipulation in it . I have always liked Paint Shop Pro so much that I haven't been able to afford to upgrade my copy since version 6, but I kept using that version. I'm so glad I got version 10 as it is very user friendly too. But please know that version 10 (which comes with this package) is not the most recent version. Version 11 is out now. If you don't want/need the Xtras CDs that come with this package you may want to just buy the most recent version and buy some embellishements from a website that makes .png files (portable network graphics format) or make your own.
I hope you have as much fun with this software as I am having. I highly recommend the training videos on the CD - they really help.

Corel PaintShop Photo Express Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a easy to use photo printing program. I choose Corel Paintshop Photo Express as it had a few fairly good reviews. I an not using it because I find that, not only is it difficult to use, it does not offer some of the features that I liked to use on the Microsoft program on my previous computer. Also, when I printed a 4x6 photo they printed 4x5 1/2. When I tried to contact Corel's technical dept their live chat was never available, email required answers to questions in order to send one and I did not understand what they wanted. Trying to call and get through was impossible! A real disappointment!

Paint Shop Pro 7 Anniversary Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this version is no longer on the market, I feel that it's a wonderful edition - especially for someone who is not especially photo editing-software savvy. Paint Shop Pro 7 is very user friendly, and so much easier to figure out than the new Photoshop software. It not only comes with a very informative instruction book, but the software also offers random tips of the day and other help topic options.
Personally, I love making signature banners and personalized designs with it. I download the pics, select the colors, effects and fonts, and the sky's the limit! I'm so glad that I was able to find a used copy in very good condition here on Amazon.com! Newer software may be more advanced and intricate, but in my opinion, newer isn't necessarily better. Paint Shop Pro 7 Anniversary Edition ROCKS!

Roxio DVDit Pro 6 Professional DVD Authoring Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If I did not have to use this product at my job I would have ceremoniously burned it. Where do I begin...Well if your last project isn't where the program expects it to be then it will not start up and will just give you an error. This means that if you have an external HDD that you keep your project files on go dead on you, guess what, DVDit goes dead as well.
Then I tried installing the program again and the CD key that was provided stopped working. Tried 4 other keys and 2 new ones that were given to us from Roxio, but alas they too would not work. Then after 2 weeks of correspondence with Roxio support (which is terrible!), we had to alter registry entries just to get the software installed again.
Lastly, and the most damning evidence of all, is that at times when you try to save a project, it will error out on you and delete the folder that you were trying to save into. If this folder happens to contain all the video clips or pictures you were working with, tough break.
This is a god awful piece of software. I cannot say anything good about it. If you are thinking about getting this program, save the $200, pay someone $5 to kick you in the head a few times cause that's what it's going to feel like using this program.

Print Shop Photo Pro 2.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I too thought this would be good software, having the printshop name. The software does an ok job, and has a good user interface. The place where it falls down flat on its face is performance and file saving.
1. If you scan 5 pictures at 600 dpi, then go from the get photo to the print tab, it takes 30 minutes!! and the computer is locked up for that entire time. I have a PIII 800 Mhz with 256M of memory and lots of free disk space. There is NO WAY it should take this long.
2. When your scanned image is brought into the program, it immediatly saves it to the C drive WITHOUT asking for your permission, it also gives it a generated file name. You have no choice in this matter, and there is no 'option' to turn this off. Oh, it saves it as a BMP file, so any file that is saved is huge. Hope you have Giga bytes of free disc space. You can do a Save As later, but you still have to go in and delete the origional file saved by the software.
Adobe has a FREE product called ActiveShare that does almost the same thing, and seems to have better performance. I'm trying that software out next.

Nova PhotoImpact Pro 8.5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You might call me a collector of photo editing software. I seem to buy just about everything that becomes available; this area is kind of a hobby of mine.
I bought a copy of PhotoImpact Pro, having not heard all that much about it, and I was really surprised. I didn't expect the software to be so incredibly full-featured, but it puts even full-blown Photoshop to shame in many areas.
This program is brilliant when it comes to fixing and enhancing digital photos. But it's power-packed in so many ways. It's a veritable candy jar of special effects. I've been using it for two months and find cool new features hiding below the surface just about every time I run it. And it's every bit as phenomenal when it comes to creating original works from scratch as it is for editing existing photographs.
Slender Fungus (proof that all the good names are taken :-) is absolutely correct in the preceding review: You can't go wrong with this software.

ACD Systems ACDCD70860WI Pro Photo Manager 3.0 Camera Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tested mostly all the RAW workflow softwares(Lightroom, Bibble, Capture One and Silkypix) and this suits best for me.
Why did I choose this SW?
1. I use Olympus camera and ORF files are opened perfectly in ACDsee. Other/All other SW opens with white balance shift and not giving the same quality of Olympus Master.
2. Wonderful light adjustment, the best in market. You have high level adjustment and separate intensity level adjustment.
3. Color adjustment is also like light adjustment, which gives better controls.
4. Good image management(not the best one).
The non destructible processing does not apply to other tools like vignette and borders. I would be very happy if they have provided for the tools too.
Finally, if you are working on RAW files and need a good, easy to work and cost effective software then this one is for you.
Update on 24 July 2010
After using little less than year. I have been very much pleased with this software. It is very much stable and reduced my time working with raw files.

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lets face it, Adobe Photoshop sets the standard for photo editing, but it's not in most people's price range. The latest version of Photoshop is between six and ten times more expensive Than Corel Paint Shop Pro PHOTO X2. (Wow, what a horrendously long and annoying name.) Photo X2 (as I'll call it from now on) approaches Photoshop in complete feature richness and with a decent interface, yet at a fraction of the price.
Notice I said "feature richness" in describing Photo X2. If you are a relative beginner or you don't retouch your photos in certain ways, I'd actually recommend Photoshop Elements over Photo X2. Elements has a better interface, more "automagic" features and works faster than Photo X2 and is about the same price.
I've used Photoshop, Elements, Corel Photo Paint and also JASC Paint Shop Pro (and some other things, too). So why didn't I buy the latest version of Elements or Photoshop instead?
1. Photoshop is too expensive for me to justify for my personal and hobby use. I use it at my work for image editing since my workplace pays for the software license there. But when I'm paying I'm looking more closely at price vs. performance. Though Photoshop has the performance, it doesn't rate so well on the price scale.
2. Elements is really nice for me to use about 85% of the time, but then there is the horrible 15% of the time that I want to use a feature that Adobe has gutted out of their software for the "Elements" version. Then I have to play around with copying the image into another program (some of them free) to adjust the curves (or whatever) and then copy it back in afterwards. The gutted feature set of Elements is a large, though occasional, annoyance. Plus I really don't use most of the fluffy side of its feature set (like "quick fixes," or "photo creations").
I think for people like me, Photo X2 is a better choice because it gives most of the advanced features that Adobe guts out of Elements at the same price point. These would be features like a curves dialog, batch processing, creating/saving masks (and many more).
Photo X2 has a lot of good sides. It can do a lot. It produces high quality results. It is much more feature rich than Elements. It has very good help files. It even has some nifty unexpected features built-in like HDR image mapping and RAW file support for many digital SLR cameras (including mine).
The down side is that in some places the interface isn't quite as good as Adobe's. It's still pretty usable, but there are minor annoyances. In Photoshop you can zoom/shrink the view and pan an image around while a dialog box is open so you can see the results easily and in a large preview. In Photo X2, you can't zoom in/out and move things around except in the before/after view in the dialogs themselves (not a deal-breaker, but a little bothersome). The startup time and image processing time seem to be slightly slower than in Photoshop, also. Many issues are minor, but they make the product feel a little less polished than Photoshop or Elements.
At least one reviewer has complained about long install and startup times. I noticed the long install time. And my initial startup after installing was 30 seconds or more. After the first time (and a computer reboot), my startup time for Photo X2 was about 8 seconds, which isn't bad. After, loading and closing it and then reopening it in the same Windows session, the loading time was on the order of 2-3 seconds. I don't find these times to be a problem at all, but if you're worried about the performance on your system you might want to download the 30-day fully functional trial from Corel's web site (though it is a 300 MB download or something). It might also be useful to download it to take a look at the features and get a feel for the program if you've never used it before.
In the end, Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is good software that is feature rich and a good choice for medium to advanced-level users who have outgrown Photoshop Elements and can't justify spending 6 to 10 times the price to buy Adobe Photoshop.

HDR Efex Pro Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have just started using this software. It is loaded with features and easily creates terrific results from multiple exposure sets.
I am very happy with the package for what it can do. The control-point technology makes many things possible that can not be achieved with any other HDR package.
Being version 1, there are still some significant weaknesses that are vastly outweighed by its strengths, but here they are...
1) Eveything except the control points is 100% automatic, but control points only come into play at the end of processing. This software would benefit greatly from adding some level of manual input for image alignment, ghost reduction, and especially blending (it does a bad job with sunsets).
2) One of the reasons I bought it is for applying HDR effects to single (12-bit raw files). In this respect, the software falls on its face. It creates so much NOISE in the processed images that the output is unusable. So for the moment, only output for true merged HDR images is decent.

PaintShop Photo Pro X3 Limited Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used Paint Shop Pro for years and I love it, but it is getting kind of old. So when I saw this new version, I was delighted. I installed it and tried it out, and it worked great. It does all the things Paint Shop Pro does, and lots more besides. It is clean and intuitive, and I can see how I would use it to get a lot done. It works great for cleaning up digital photos, and I especially like the "thinify" tool, which makes me look more attractive than I actually am. So why am I giving it 1 star?
Unfortunately, I had to delete this fine software from my system. I simply can not agree to the license agreement. Here is the part I can't agree with:
1.19.3 You hereby acknowledge and consent to Corel: monitoring your Use of the Product, authenticating and periodically verifying your licensing rights in the Product, collecting, transmitting, using and sharing with Corel's third party marketing partners, data relating to you and your Use of the Product for advertising, marketing, operational and other purposes, accessing, utilizing and altering the existing functionality, including any default settings, of the computer system on which you Use the Product, and receiving in-Product messages from Corel and its third party marketing partners, all in accordance with Corel's Privacy Policy located at [...].
