    I am trying to use this for my son's senior pictures and so far I've had some problems trying to use the enhancements. I want to use monochrome but have had some difficulty trying to get the image I want to be in color to be the only thing in color. The video does help but would be nice if it was easier for the novice like me. However, all in all I think it's a great program.

    I enjoyed what I could do in editing photos. However the program just closes itself in the middle of you working and doesn’t save any of the changes that you make. Then when I was finally able to edit I wasn’t able to print and have been able to yet every time I try the program just closes. This is not a computer issue either because it was installed on at brand new one. I’m currently working on a refund from the company as there was a 90 day return policy.

    I have installed the program, but have not had much time to figure out the program. I have not been able to do some of the editing that I was wanting to do with it. I guess I need more time and playing with the program to figure out all that I want to do with it.

    Reading the thick book that came with it, this software is ten years old. It's not user friendly, and very challenging to use. My Adobe PaintShop Pro 2021 Ultimate, is much more diverse, and extremely easy to utilize. The reason for more than one photoshop program, is the possibility of different capabilities that may not be found in just one program.

    product was easy to install i am no expert and i am still working through a lot of the features but every thing so far has been pretty straight forward and easy to use the guality of the end product is very good and as i move on with the features in the program and become more comfortable i will enjoy it a lot more.

    Only gave it four stars due to the difficulty to use. Has great options if I could learn them all in a short time would be great.

    This was not as easy as I expected. I really loved Picasa (online) and then Crome took over and it gets harder and harder. This software helps a little, but no as easy as Picassa was.

    Horrible program. Want to return it. Bought it for business but it always shuts down so if you don't save your project after every move you make you will lose it...

    It would have been better to have had a class on this product but can work it out with trial and era , over all pics will look nice after I get the program down.

    When I bought this product I was interested in the photo studio. I did not realize that it also included a ton of projects that you can do. This product is very comparable to Hallmark Card Studio when it comes to the projects and costs a lot less than Hallmark.

    We had to change to this program due to HP no longer supporting the program we had. This took us some time to get use to the change. Works ok after that
