Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: I have used an older edition for some years and just loved it. Thought it would be good to upgrade with my new XP operating system.I paid for this program at least twice with all the tech calls I made trying to get it to stop crashing not just the program but more seriously the system as well. After my 5th call to Oregon, and an hour or more on the phone, still crashs the system. It is now toast as far as I am concerned. Reinstalled my old program and it works fine. Keep your money.

Summary: a nifty program easy to use
Review: I love Paint Shop pro and use it for nearly everything, but I also run Picture It Publishing for several reasons. First off, the lettering is superior to PRP. I get a sharper titling with this program, especially on small titles where PSP tends to look fuzzy. It is very easy to control. PSP make you know what size you wish things when working in layers. With Picture You, you just add the image or titles and then you can make adjusts of all layers at any point. Save it in Picture It format, and you can come back later and made changes and adjustments as needed.Also, many people complain PSP is too complicated for them to learn. This program is very simple and provides you many of the features and effects you get with PSP. So if you wish to improve your photos or create projects with them, but don't want the hassle of learning a complex program, this simply to use photo/paint shop is very nifty indeed!!

Summary: I couldn't live without it!
Review: I love this program! I use it constantly. I've not had the "slow response" and "locking up" problems that others have had. We have a powerful computer with lots of RAM, maybe that's why. You'll need lots of memory if you store your picture on your hard drive, they just take up a lot of room. I find this program easy to use and easy to navigate. I make my own picture post cards for every holiday (Easter, Valentines, Birthdays, St. Patricks, Fourth of July, etc.) and my family just loves them! In fact, they look forward to them. I also make my own invitations for family birthdays, dinners, etc. You can add all kinds of things to pictures (dogs, flowers, hats, props) and you can really dress them up. I took and old military picture of my Dad and put the American flag in the background using it as a border/frame . . . it's a very powerful picture. Then I just clicked "order prints" to have them printed on-line and my 5 X 7 photo prints of my dad were delivered to my house. How easy is that?? I've sold two members of my family on this program and they love it, too! You can make brochures, flyers, greeting cards, postcards, photo album pages, picture frames, calendars, photo web pages, invitations, business cards, banners, newsletters, stickers and much, much more! Try it!

Summary: PIP Anniversary Edition
Review: I purchased this software thinking it might have a few more graphics than the 2002 edition which I used all the time. Install was a nightmare. It kept telling me to uninstall 2002 and yet XP wouldn't let me (P VI - XP Home). Finally my geek used a work-around to install it. Once I got it up and running it placed little green squares wherever a graphic was supposed to be. I finally called Microsoft and they knew of the problem but informed me that "there is no fix for that." I asked when they thought there might be a fix available. "Never." Why would you release software with a major problem such as described and never provide a fix for it? I returned it and got my money back. Only problem is I cannot find a replacement program that I like as well as PIP 2002 (and that was uninstalled). Bottom line: Don't waste your time or money fighting with this program.

Review: I really use this program for anything and everything. It is very versatile. I use it to scan pictures into, for plain storage or to modify. You can of course do all of the regular "photo fixers" you can imagine. Sharpen the focus of the picture, change the brightness, get rid of red-eye, crop it, paint something, cut something out or off, add a border or text, and I could go on and on. You can even make it into a black and white picture or a painting. You can also use your scanned photos for all kinds of things. You can crop out a person and place him/her in another scene or backdrop behind with added objects on top (for them to hold or wear). You can take the face off of a person and put it on another body. The sky's the limit. I also use it for clip-art. It has a huge selection of pictures to use for any and everything. You can also make anything with this program, such as birthday cards, invitations, etc. I also use it when I need to print out text for display on my children's science fair projects or when I have to teach a lesson. Plus, I can add a cute picture or two relevant to the topic. It's great. I really use it often.

Review: I've used this on a previous job I had and loved it. That's why I wanted it for my computer at home. It's great for practically anything you want to create with your computer. Especially if you homeschool your children or work from home.
