Get unbiased advice before you buy. A great photo program for the beginner or non-graphics type. Not terrific for detailed photo retouch but really fun to use. I was never much good at Paint and get very frustrated with Publisher, Print Artist is a mystery and the Adobe Photoshop versions that I've had baffle me to no end. I've had no problems with compatibility between my HP scanner and it's software.
Pictures import simply and easily.
I'm still discovering things that this program can do. I can import, retouch, crop and re-size my pictures. Then I can either save them for future use or add borders and special effects and then paste them into a scrapbook page. The retouch function has proven the savior of old yellowed black and white and color photos which I've been able to restore to their former glory using the rather intuitive tint correction. However, I've had a much more difficult time removing red-eye since the program assumes that all people have very dark brown eyes, and does not allow for natural color correction.
