    I have read the user manual front to back and still do not know how to use this product. If I had not downloaded it to my computer, I would return it.

    First time we loaded the software, all it did was pop up 'update' windows. Program did not work at all until after 3 updates and a 'repair' and then it somewhat worked until I had to restart the computer. Then the program would just flash on the screen and close itself when I tried to open it. Loaded it on a different computer & some features worked. Says it can link to Facebook - it does not. Says you can put different photos on a single page to print, but was not able make this work either. I've used several Photo processing programs before, but this product was nearly un-useable. Uninstalled & tried to take it back, but Best Buy said to contact the manufacturer for a refund.

    Terrible Program

    Purchased this to do some cut and paste on some photos. Guide book is confusing. Instructions do not seem to work. Trying to clone a photo and it is very difficult to maneuver. On top of the difficulty in using the program it keeps crashing and stops working. I would not recommend this program at all. A total piece of junk and waste of money.

    It does not go to "open with" on Windows, when you install it, does not have all regular corrections. It's hard to look for a file to open it with the software. The old software that I was using was sold by Microsoft, I can not find it now, they stop selling it.

    I was looking for a program that would be as easy to use as MS Picture It, but it's a lot more complicated to use. It is working for what I bought it for though.
