Tucker   Review #232 - Dated: 8th of May, 2004
  Author: Tucker

For the higher-end graphic users, this will be a bit underpowered... stick with Illustrator or Photoshop. But for the novie or home-user, this package will be a godsend!

With all the powerful tools you'd expect to find in a package 3-4 times this price, and all easily driven in one of three ways.
  • For those who still prefer textmenus, the whole package can be driven from that one toolbar.
  • For those who are more used to an icon-based GUI, there are icon toolbars also present, and clearly understood.
  • For those used to WindowsXP, there is a set of compacting navpanels down the left side, all too familiar from XP, giving easily-understood options.

    It's all point-n-click no matter how you look at it! So easy to understand, I almost feel like using it more than Photoshop, still my pride and joy. :)

    One feature that really did impress me was the Photo Stamps - very cool, fully customisable, and gives some brilliant options for the creative mind. Fully worth the explore if nothing else.

    Overall, very impressive. Great for beginners, or those who do a lot of Digital Camera work, for it's batchwork features. You can process bulk files in a session, saving you a lot of effort and time-wasting. No point in sitting there load-click-set-process-save-start_again looping.
