Title: A whole lot of fun.
Review: I disagree with other reviews. Up until recently, I was using a computer with, believe it or not, Windows 95. With only 32MB ram. I had a need to be able to do image editing, and this program has much, much less of an intimidation factor. Once a person learns the "SmartSelect" function, they can cut out very clean, very neat images, transform them into "objects", and merge elements from other photos. Once a person gets the "hang" of using the various effects and selection tools, no one will even know you're not using Photoshop Elements. The best thing, the absolute best quality to this program is adding text, it makes it one of the easiest things to do, move it around, add shadows, color gradients, textures, etc, etc. It isn't for very, very serious artists, but for the average person or even a person who merely likes to play with their photos and share them, this is a absolute blast. Every picture I do is great fun, and never looks sloppy.
Is the review positive or negative?
