Summary: not very user friendly
Review: I think I'm going to enjoy using this program once I get over my HUGE initial frustration that comes with learning a new software program that doesn't have adequate instruction! The manual has to be printed up; I would have preferred to have had an actual BOOK to refer to -- I guess software companies don't do that any more? It's very frustrating, to say the least. I don't see how kids can figure things out on their own with this program. It's a pretty intense experience to guess at what to do. Call me computer illiterate, but that's the way it is.

Summary: ..., the best stress releiver ever!!
Review: I'M MIDDLE AGED WITH NO COMPUTOR EXPERIENCE WHAT SO EVER. I WAS ADVISED TO PICK UP KID PIX DELUXE 3 . THIS IS THE FIRST PROGRAM I EVER BOUGHT AND HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE IT TO BUT, I THINK IT'S ENTERTAINING, AND RELAXING. WHEN I TURNED MY TWO OLDER SISTERS ON TO IT, THEY FOUND IT FASINATING TOO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE YOUNG TO ENJOY KID PIX DELUXE 3. YOU JUST HAVE TO LIKE TO DOODLE,COLOR,AND DRAW. CREATE FANCY NOTES TO SEND THAT ARE MORE CUSTOMISED THEN ANYTHING ELSE I USE TO MAKE STATIONARY. SURE, I COULD COME UP WITH SOME DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS FOR THE STAMPS, SUCH AS BODY PARTS AND A BODY IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS (EX. SITTING, WALKING, SIDE VEIW, FRONT VEIW,ETC.)FOR THOSE OF US WITH AN IMAGINATION BIGGER AND BETTER THEN OUR DRAWING ABILITY.
AFTER READING THE REVEIWS I AM CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THE OTHER KID PIX DIFFERS FROM KID PIX DELUXE 3. DON'T LET PEOPLE THINK IT'S JUST FOR KIDS, AND IF IT IS, WHERE IS THE ADULT VERSION OF THIS COOL PROGRAM??

Summary: Kids love it
Review: Kids love this because you can draw your own picture, color it in, and type a story on it, or you can select a coloring-book page and color that. There is a wide variety of "stamps" to put in any picture, such as nature, holidays, fantasy, and animal pictures. The end result is always beautiful and professional. This is a very easy-to-use program and has almost endless possibilities for making pretty pictures. 7-10 year olds really enjoy Kid Pix and are so proud of the pictures they create.

Summary: My son couldn't stop talking about this!
Review: My 6-yr-old son mentioned Kid Pix every day for about a week after using it at school. I had seen this software many times but just thought it was another one of those coloring book kind of things that just about every kid web site has - for free. So I broke down and bought it. Now I can't wait for my son to go to bed at night so I can "play" with this software. It's wonderful! It has elements of Powerpoint (slideshows - even the frame timing and sounds), Photoshop (filters like blur, noixe, pixelate, render, adjustments like brightness, contrast and even color filters!), word processors (adding text in installed fonts, sizing), vector programs (like Illustrator that allow you to place a vector image (clipart) and resize), and even hundreds of music selections/genres, clipart, scenery, artwork, textures, patterns, maps, and it will even read the text he types in. I obviously highly recommend this product.

Summary: Great kids program!
Review: My 9 year old's teacher recommended this software to me, and they use it regularly in their computer classes at school. My daughter loves it, and I'm impressed by the things she can create and print. Imaginations are free to fly with this program.

Summary: Easy to use and my kids love it
Review: My children, who had used and earlier version of this program in school, were delighted when I bought this edition for them.The graphics are stunning, the combinations of activities keep them entertained for hours. Great buy to entertain your kids while stimulating their creativity and imaginations.

Summary: Good product, but needs update
Review: My niece introduced this software to me and I bought it for my kids, who use it for hours. However, the Mac version will only run under OS 9 or in Classic mode under OS X and stability under Classic can be shaky. Broderbund needs to do what most other companies have done and update the software to run natively under OS X.

Summary: XP COMPATIBILITY
Review: Not really compatible. Will work with Win Xp cmpatability wizard set to Win 98 and visual themes disabled. BUT, the desktop will not return to original settings upon closing and Kid Pix 3 leaves programs running in the background which must be manually closed through Win Task Manager. A sad situation in a K-12 education setting attempting to use up to date Windows and preserve their software investment.
