    ‘This is my 3rd upgrade. The last one was about 10 years ago so I figured I was due already. It is very easy to use. You won’t be disappointed.

    I used to use MS Picture It! to edit my photos, but with all the Windows upgrades it's no longer functional. After reading all the options available on this software, I bought it and love using it.

    I have Windows 8.1 and after fixing red eye or trying anything, the picture will not open in the folder after saving them. This is useless. Do not buy if you have windows 8.1

    The program comes with multiple editing programs extending from basic photo edits to video edits. Built in graphics seem very outdated (clipart-ish) but it is fairly easy to learn and has tons of great built in project ideas.

    I love a good program to make snapshots look professional. This program is a little difficult to use. I wish it would be easier to do some of the things it advertises. Black and white pictures look awesome with a splash of color, but it is difficult to make it look perfect.

    Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone using digital photography. It is virtually endless what you can do with this program and I have used others and print many, many pics and this is by far the best and so easy to use. I love it!

    Pretty good program. Wanted it for the background removal. Not as intuitive as I would like. Would not import the pictures that I had downloaded from Facebook. Still learning.

    It does not have exactly what I was looking for. I thought I could sort, save and copy to a disc. Maybe its there. I have not actually gone through in any details.

    This is not easy to work with. The info on the box claims it will do certain things I want to do, but I can’t find the options once I get into the program. I can’t return it since I already loaded it onto my computer. I give a fair rating hoping someone else may be able to figure it out, but I will otherwise not recommend it.

    I hoped it would have more manipulation capabilities but it's pretty effective for the price. The instructions are straight forward and easy to follow... the photo attached took me about 10 minutes to create. Having some trouble finding "true" colors.

    This program can be a little confusing if you don't read all the handbook. There is no printed hand book. That you have to download and print if you want to flip through and read it. But the program is great for the price.

    The price is reasonable but the instruction book is way too thick. A condensed booklet would be more practical. Even a cheat sheet on quick use would be handy.
