As a small business owner I needed another way to keep my records straight. Thus software is easy to use and easy to understand. Overall a great item for any business owner

Powerful accounting or bookkeeping software for your business. Yearly support services require you to purchase annually and this is trending with what the industry is doing with Office Software and also with accounting software. Quickbooks only supports a few years before it no longer is supported and is essentially obsolete. Sage (formally Peachtree) is a robust and complete set of accounting tools for those that provide services or for those that track inventory (much more complex). The email of invoices is a handy internal tool, but the lack of payroll options outside of an add on is somewhat frustrating. All in all, those that are familiar with this software or those that need more robust tools will really appreciate the software, for those that are new, it will have a steep learning curve with productive results.

This is about as perfect as it gets. This is my second year using this software (as opposed to QuickBooks). I loved it the first year I used it and continue to feel likewise with this newest version. It is a snap to install, seems "bug" free (at least as of right now and following some pretty serious use), and it is incredibly intuitive/easy to use. In fact, the ease of this program is a time-saver for me ... and that means more time with me family. And, that is invaluable! This is expertly developed, phenomenally well-tested, and worth every penny! Bravo to Sage for making a product that consumers can truly invest their trust in!

To teach myself how to use Sage 50, I relied online tutorials (video and text) for when I got stuck; Youtube has a wealth of intro/beginner/intermediate ones for helping setup and run the program. With an afternoon's focus, I got most of the basic functions implemented and felt comfortable using the software. This software is really ideal for a small business or company that needs reliable accounting software, but does not (yet) need an actual accountant or financial person to keep tabs on things. I run a very small business out of my home and occasionally have a friend or partner assist me with the goings-on, and Sage 50 definitely offers the functionality I needed: invoices and statements (looked great, slick, and professionally done), balancing, etc. Premium is more than adequate for a small (<10?) employee business. A major drawback is taht it's a subscription software, meaning it has planned obsolescence and will require renewal in a year. I'm not sure if I would stick with this (given I received a free copy to review) given its cost, but I'll see how it goes for a year with my small business before deciding to renew/continue. The other major direct competitor is QuickBooks, whose software packages are equally expensive.

Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree) brings you best-in-class accounting standards, secure desktop installation, unlimited access to support, plus affordable subscription plans that offer the best value for your business.

Sage 50 will auto-configure a Windows Firewall protected system. Installation is as easy as following on-screen prompts and there are online installation tips and how-to's for server installation. I am a former Peachtree user, so a lot of Sage 50's features are familiar. I would personally be OK with the Pro version as I don't use many of the features of Premium, nor do I really need a 3-user license scheme. One thing that would be nice to include with this is Payroll but this has to be added at an additional cost. Note that built in support and product updates are only good for 365 days. Overall - I don't like subscription schemes but I do think this is powerful and well-designed software.

This is Peachtree accounting renamed as Sage. It has some nice features - actually nicer than those in QuickBooks but you pay a price for the nicer features - much of this has to be renewed by subscription each year. You can export data to and from Excel - but then you can do that with Quickbooks too. Overall, most small businesses would be better off with Quickbooks.

(3.5 STARS) I got this software for basic book keeping and it does that and a whole lot more. This version includes the most options and allows for three users which was a primary concern for me. Let me start by admitting that I do not have a background in accounting so the software was not as intuitive as I would have liked and I'm not using it for a small company but for a 40+ committee. The options were amazing and it offered professional grade invoices and financial statements. It can be set up to manage direct deposits, print checks and a whole host of small business needs (payroll, inventory, audits, etc.) that I do not require at this point. This software is overkill for my purposes but would work well for a small to mid sized businesses. I subtracted a star for the difficulty in installing the software and that some features require subscriptions (read payment) to provide complete function.

The newest trend in software is to sell you a subscription rather than a piece of software that you own and may use as you like. What's the difference and why is it important? Allow me to explain: A subscription is like a lease. You pay a set amount of money either monthly or for one year and gain access to something (an apartment, a piece of software) and may use it for the agreed upon amount of time. Once the lease (or the subscription) is terminated, you LOSE your right to use said item. That might be fine for apartments, but much less so for software. You are beholden to the company that created the software forever. If they decide to STOP making the software, you lose your data, and even more importantly, your ability to access and use your previously collected data. Or at least you might, and that's a huge risk for something like accounting data. You might be stuck manually entering years worth of data by hand from printed reports (assuming you have them all). When you purchase something, you have several protected rights. One is the right to use what you purchased however you like and for as long as you like (fair use). You also have the right to sell that thing to someone else (First Sale doctrine). With a subscription you have neither of those things, and the lease or subscription holder can take your ability to use the software away from you any time they like. Perhaps they won't, but its an undeniable factor that must be taken into account. All that said, SAGE and QUICKBOOKS use the same model, so you're not really going to have much choice but to have a subscription if you want a professional accounting software. That's sad, but true. It wasn't always this way, and maybe with enough consumer push back, it won't be this way in the future.

I downloaded this Corel PaintShop Pro X8 on one computer, and I purchased this disc from Amazon. I recommend getting it this was. For some reason it never works as well when downloaded. I have 3 different types of photo programs, and this is my favorite.

I purchased the upgrade directly from Corel last year for just a little over $100. I upgraded to Painter 2016 from Painter X3 because I liked the newer Particle and other Special FX brushes. When I found out that I could download and utilize most of the Photoshop ABR brushes available online, that convinced me to take the plunge. I'm glad Corel added this to Painter 2016, because I've been adding many different types of Special FX brushes since I purchased it. I've lost cost of how many brushes I've downloaded, but let's just say that I'll never have to purchase any of the brushes Corel sells because I've found many variations on them and so much more. Plus, I'll never have to worry about creating any "custom" brushes because I now actually have more than I'll realistically ever use AND THEN SOME!!!! I've played around with many of them and have started utilizing some of them in a few recent illustrations. Now, I can add many of the special effects that would've been either too time-consuming and labor-intensive to do from scratch. Just like with Photoshop's Lens Flare, I have to constantly remind myself that any effects I choose should serve the illustration, not overwhelm it (just for the record, I've found many ABR brush variations on the aforementioned Lens Flare, too). The only 0 is that Painter 2016 is slow to load when I initially click on it, no matter which of my laptops I use. After the first time, it boots up fairly quickly. Overall, I love Painter 2016 and I'm likely to stick with it until a later version comes along that's substantially better.

Acronis serial number was not accepted by company

It is here when I need it

I don't use it a lot but when I do it does what I need.

Excel: Does not allow you to copy and paste sometimes. I later found out it's related to having many Excels open. Clicking the lower edge of a cell will navigate to the end of the sheet. Does not allow you to paste into visible cells only, despite having this setting selected. Shortening long numbers by default Does not save, unable to edit a cell. Freezes. Constantly freezes, unable to copy, close, or open anything. The only way out is to close all the windows and restart, or end task. Mangles special characters and eff me over on more than a few occasions. Why would the default encoding be Western instead of UTF-8?? Returning false 1 in Conditional Formating when highlighting duplicate values. Opening a new window will minimize it (the new window) Can't analyze long numbers. Conditional Formatting will think that all long numbers are duplicates. Auto converts dashes used as bullet points into formulas. Useless Filter function when used on large set of data. Scroll bars disappearing for no reason. Outlook: Minimizes a newly opened window. Folder pane disappears for no reason, unable to go back to Mail from Calendar. Cannot search for emails using part of the senders domain, would have to provide the entire domain. It updated and then it says "this app can't run on your pc" Run indexing in the middle of the day, preventing search results to fully return. Crashes constantly. Windows: Folders search boxes don't search after typing in and hitting Enter Why the fk would all the windows be minized when I'm moving another window around? Taskbar doesn't work Click Start in windows 10 will give a "Critical Error" message, requiring the user to sign out. Sleeps after 1 minute of inactivity although the sleep setting is 30 minutes on battery, and Never on power.

MS Office is a great set of tools

Despite turning off every setting somewhat indicative of notifications, I still get basically advertisements for other Norton products from the app and its plug-ins. I didn't pay for software to be advertised to. It's extremely annoying.

Works well. After several phone calls. It works perfectly. Trend Micro is the best internet security in the market IMHO. Tried them all. Least invasive and has kept viruses for years.

good protection.. ladygamblertina@yahoo.com

This software is the same as the 360 Total Security - Free Antivirus & Internet Security for PC 2017 [Download] also available on Amazon. Both download the same installation from the same host. These are great programs. I use Advanced System Care from iobit.com too. Somehow, this program disabled the Advanced System Care program. Other than that. I love it.

good software

didnt understand a bit of the rubbish

It is a helpful tool to have if you need it.

Works great

Was not what I expected

Easy to file your taxes correctly.

It's ok for a simple return, but it could be better.

Easy to file your taxes correctly.

works great, easy to capture videos and save

my go to photo editing software. works with windows 10 pro 64bit.

I have been a big supporter of Corel products -- VideoStudio and PaintShop Pro -- since their earliest versions. They generally do what the more expensive software does but more easily and with more user-friendly filters and frills. Despite their aiming recent versions more at the auto-generate projects for amateurs to create fancy projects quickly, the Corel software still offers the features and function the pros want to product videos and graphics. BUT, the recent versions, including this one currently infesting my computers, have an added thrill: THEY COME WITH POPUP ADVERTISEMENTS! Goodie. Now whatever I'm doing I get obnoxious, endless, impossible to remove Corel ads popping up over everything. Often they have no X in the corner to close them. There is no way to stop them. I'm a computer person from way back and I cannot stop these things. I've done everything I have found in setting to stop them in the software settings, including not permitting them from the original install, and they are still there. Evil. Horrible. And Corel just lost a lifetime customer.

Best program for the price that I could find and I took a week to check out as many programs and reviews of programs as I could

Arrived as described. I was pleased with purchase

Was not what I expected

great buy

The product itself is quite good, in depth fixes, easy auto features. The company REALLY wants you to add time to your subscription and the pop ups do become annoying. Especially since I have 1 1/2 years left to go on mine still. The upgrades are included in your subscription so you do NOT need to add time to get them.

ok

When you get started and you eard of lightroom and did not know how to go around with (LR is very complex) you might start to look around for something that does the same thing. Or if you have enough of LR. There is a nice tutorial with a pro out there. If you are the kind to do just a couple of adjustment like contrast, sharpening and exposure, you don't need LR. ASP do that and more. It does not do everything LR does, like if you are a die had vignetting, they have it. But right now there is no white vignetting. But there is alway's a work around, you can export your picture into something like Photoshop elements or Paintshop Pro. Many users can be just happy with it, but did not eard of Aftershoot pro. It's still a young software, but they listen their customers. If you don't want to invest 10$ per month for Lightroom photoshop all your life, get into ASP. I don'T know about the raw conversion, even on Lightroom not everybody is happy about it. I shoot JPG. ASP have presets also. Some tools are incomplete like Cropping. But some tools are faster to use than LR in the cropping. I am all about cropping, I think LR is incomplete, I would eventually create my own crop tool as plugin for ASP and would be happy with it. You can actually have a programmer making plugins for you to do what you want with a software like ASP, but people don't think about it.

I feel like this software is a good balance of power and simplicity. I've been a Photoshop Elements user for quite a number of years. I've always been put off by the way you have to import files and how editing was always a bit of a separate task from editing and cataloging. AfterShot Pro combines both really well. It lets you use your native file folder organization directly yet you can still create custom "collections" of shots from multiple folders. Although it has plenty of tagging and keyword capabilities, they aren't quite as straightforward nor are they the main focus in this application. Editing photos is pretty easy with workflow tabs and plenty of easy 1-click types of adjustments. Of course you can customize the settings in many of these. As you probably know, software such as AfterShot has less of a focus on preset filters, effects and layers and more on the basic adjustments of lighting, color cast, sharpening and noise reduction. There's also presets for lens corrections for specific camera models, and additional profiles can be downloaded for free. Photo effect filter sets can also be purchased and downloaded. If you want to create your own combinations, these can be set, saved, and then used later - even on multiple files. That brings me to the next feature set which is really easy and powerful batch editing. By saving presets, or even choosing the settings from a single picture you've already edited in AfterShot, you can reapply those same edits and adjustments to other photos. Every filter and adjustment is saved with the photo and you always have access to this information. The one thing that does bug me and the main reason for only 4 stars is that the interface can be kind of cluttered and the photo space small on a 1440x900 monitor. I highly recommend something with more resolution. Also, every time I applied a filter, even checking or unchecking a preset, I would have to mouse over the image, make a mouse click, or press a keyboard button for the image to redraw. This can be pretty annoying when you're trying to fine tune sharpening or noise reduction and making lots of small incremental changes.

I am a total amateur when it comes to editing, but needed to try something for editing the photos I take for my business. This software was a quick and easy download. Once downloaded, I was able to start using it pretty quickly, the learning curve was one that I could understand without too much trial and error. I take many photos of different items in the same location, so when I need to edit, it's generally the same thing which needs editing, this software is perfect for that. Now I can fix multiple photos at one time, saving a lot of time! The price is great if you're not sure about the program, not a huge expense like many others out there. For me, and my level of expertise, or lack of it, this program fits the bill!

When I ordered this it was listed as Photo Editing Software with a description emphasizing the ways it can fix your images. After watching Corel's introductory video and trying the software, I would classify it as a file management tool that happens to perform editing tasks. In that repect, it is similar to Lightroom. It is not as powerful as Lightroom but it is affordable and does not require a subscription. Personally I will just go back to using Adobe Bridge, which I got with the last Photoshop version that was sold before they went to the subscription model. Bridge is under-appreciated as a file manager and offers RAW editing features even for JPEGs, and since I have used it for years I am comfortable with it. But if you don't want to make a heavy investment and you handle a high volume of files, AfterShot Pro is worth considering. It is not hard to learn, especially if you watch the videos on Corel's website. I downloaded this software over a wi-fi connection. It was easy to install on my Macbook. For me, the editing tools seemed basic compared to Photoshop. But Aftershot Pro does not take a long time to learn so you may prefer it if you are not a Photoshop user.

This software has SO much going on. Theres a plethora of things you can do with it. . . which is GREAT. .. but. . . if you're a beginner, then you're probably going to be VERY overwhelmed. Pinnacle offers tutorials. .. but for a fee. Fortunately, there are several very good tutorials to be found online for free. But I have to say. . . This is not the easiest software to use for a novice. You have to be willing to put in the time-and-effort. Ive used it for quite simple things, and it works, but its time-consuming. Make sure you look at the differences between the three different software options. The Plus software (this listing) has just about everything one could need. . . but. . . . if you need 360 video, then youll need to check-out the Ultimate software.

I have used both more complex and less complex software. And, I always return to Pinnacle Studio. For those who have used similar software in the past, it is fairly intuitive and one isn't paying for a truckload of "bells and whistles" one will never use. I really like that aspect. However, I did get a different perspective when my brother attempted to use it. He tinkered with it for about an hour and walked away frustrated. He said that he wished it were more friendly to the new user. Looking at this through his eyes, I can see that. He ultimately purchased&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cyberlink-PowerDirector-15-Ultra/dp/B01LEZN03I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cyberlink PowerDirector 15 Ultra</a>&nbsp;for his home computer and has had tremendous luck (and it does have a bunch of really cool features that I enjoyed playing with). So, I think it may be about your level of familiarity. For me, Pinnacle Studio has always been a favorite; however, for the new-user, maybe PowerDirector is best for a quick start!

Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate is a perfectly serviceable application for editing videos and creating video content for YouTube or burning DVD's for personal use. That said, the interface is troubled by poor design: all the key features are there, but the controls aren't nearly as intuitive as they should be and were "overthought" to the point the controls became complicated. In other words, I found myself constantly struggling to figure out how to perform basic video and audio edits ... not because the features were missing but because I had to figure out what the developer/programmer mistakenly thought would be the most intuitive way for a user to perform that task.

A program that is fairly easy to use and provides some good results. I have not really experienced issues with the use of the program, but I think many of the issues others have encountered are related to computers that don't have good graphics cards and/or memory since video/photo programs are intense computer resource hogs. With a good computer there doesn't seem to be any real issues. The effects and features have a bit of a learning curve, but I believe any savvy computer user can learn with some effort.
