Rating: Summary: Love this software ... Review: Bought Photo Explosion Deluxe this week, and I can't tell you how pleased I am. I own them all - PhotoSuite, Photoshop Album, PictureIt and several others - and Photo Explosion takes the cake by a mile.It's extremely easy to use, for starters. The developers have really thought things out because it's much easier to navigate than the other programs I own - and you don't get this annoying bar along the left side that asks you a battery of unending questions like PhotoSuite and PictureIt. (Those products remind me of a DOS program where you're constantly prompted press 1 for this, 2 for that.) And I was really surprised by the VCD burning functionality. I bought Photo Explosion chiefly to clean up photos and print them - which it does really well and with tons of beautiful options for projects and designs. But the video slide show feature is really cool. You can add music, as well, and the quality of CD it produces is much better than I've seen with other standalone programs. Other reviewers have complained that there aren't enough transitions, but I did some research on that point, and it turns out that those features require a different kind of file called MPEG 2, which explains why many of the VCDs I've made with some of the fancier programs (not Photo Explosion) have not worked on some DVD players. Anyhow, Photo Explosion Deluxe is a great buy...and much better than the other options out there. Enjoy ...
Rating: Summary: A Digital Camera Owners Dream Review: I am a computer & digital camera junkie! I love taking photos and sharing them with my family and friends via email. I also print alot of them on paper. I have had several small programs that offer some slide show options, but they can only be viewed on a computer. When I saw this software I was hoping that it was what I was looking for, and sure enough it was. Photo Explosion Deluxe is very user friendly. It has good photo editing features, but my favorite feature is the ability to burn a cd that can be played on your DVD! I purchased it on Christmas Eve, and on Christmas night my family was sitting in front of the tv watching a slide show of our Christmas Holiday, complete with a music background! Each of my grown children left that evening with an extra Christmas present and memory! They each went home with a copy of the DVD! I highly recommend this for anyone who loves the digital photo world as much as I do!

Rating: Summary: Spend you money on another title Review: I have yet to understand why this product received such a good review from the editor. It's not easy to use. There is no natural flow and progression when you attempt to make projects. Not to mention the layout of the design screen is elementary and not very pleasing to look at. If you use this product make sure that your pictures are in folders that aren't more than one folder deep on your hard drive or you won't be inputting them easily into any projects. This product has caused me nothing but irritiation it feels like it is more suited for Windows 98 than Windows XP, I refuse to believe this product was designed and produced since computers came in the 75Mhz variety. Save your money and use it on something else
Rating: Summary: Frustration tamed Review: I recently wrote a review for this item due to a launching issue. Very angry, I made numerous calls and emails to Nova. At last I was able to converse with a rep who was more than helpful and made right with all my issues. I am pleased with my outcome with Nova and the response, making sure I was a satisfied customer. I only rate this 4 stars as I am just now using the program and am very excited with what I've been able to accomplish in the past 3 days. Thank you Nova for your help.
Rating: Summary: Not so powerful for making VCD Review: Lacks transitions between slides of digital pictures. Makes the slideshow somewhat flat. One good thing - can put music and also is quite fast in creating a VCD
Rating: Summary: Nice program lots of features Review: Photo Explosion Deluxe exceeded my expectations. It is a nice complimentary program for PSP and other similar programs. It has loads of features including masks, frames, albums and far too many others to mention here. The only drawback I found is the slideshow feature which causes an windows error when launched. People I sent this to also experienced this same error. But other than this flaw I absolutely think that Explosion for the money is an excellent buy. It takes a little playing with but once you figure it out you can achieve just about anything you want with your graphics. If Nova fixes the slideshow problem I would most definitely give this program a five star rating.

Rating: Summary: Poor print Quality Review: Photo Explosion Deluxe is easy enough to use but won't print to printer correctly.Have a canon s900 that prints beautiful photo prints but after editing with photo explosion My print quality is very poor.
Rating: Summary: Potoexplosion Deluxe Review: The editing portion of the software is completly separate from the CD portion of the software and does not store in the same file. CD's can hold upto approx 500 photos but the softwware will not accept more and allow you to discard down to burn 500. I was told by Nova Development that the merging of photo shows was not being supported by the company since the CD writer was a free add on to the program. The box and program info did not indicate that. I offered to purchase the full program but it is not available anywhere.
