Photo Explosion Deluxe 2.0

So So not what I expected but Ill work with it

Got Photo Explosion Deluxe just before Christmas, and it makes the whole digital photography process a delight. Finally. Ive tried lots of other programs. Some are clearly very powerful - Photoshop Elements, for example - but theyre way too much for what I need, impossible to navigate, really designed for professionals. Photo Explosions approach is entirely different. Theres lots of hand holding, its a step by step process, and you just cant go wrong. And there are lots of neat extras, like a morphing program and a montage program and a nice CD slide show maker. Theyve just really thought it through, and while Ive got half a bookcase shelf full of other digital photo editors that have left me underwhelmed, the Nova folks do get it. With respect to rebates, I got mine - and fast. It had the company name on it, not the product name, so I scratched my head for a few minutes before I figured it out. I wonder if that was the problem some other people experienced. Anyway, no rebate problems with this one.

I love this software so much I just ordered 2 more copies for my sister and mother-in-law! It is so simple to use my 9 year old comfortably uses it! Within the first few minutes she was editing photos and creating projects. This has been a great bonding tool for my daughter and I. This year she basically designed the family X-mas card herself!

I bought the package with the intent of making a Slide Show of Digital Pictures, with a sound track. It works. The only issueis that it can only have one audio file (.WAV) per show. I wanted to burn a CD with a show longer than 4 minutes (avg length of a song). Other than that, it works as advertised.

This version has an excellent user interface and is easy to work with. The newer version 3.0 and 4.0 are NOT easy to work with.

enjoy working with this program

I have used this a lot and really enjoy the program.

I got this for Christmas and I cant say that Im impressed. Its very difficult to navigate and its my experience that it doesnt do everything it says it does. I wanted Photoshop Elements 4.0 and I can zip around that in no time flat but this one has me flustered. You cant resize photos to an exact measurement such as 4x4 inches like you can in PSE, you have to eyeball it which is REALLY difficult. You also cant manually manipulate the colors and effects like you do is PSE. Im very disappointed in this software. I dont recommend it to ANYONE!

Never worked keeps on crashing as soon as you click on it.Wish it did cause I love the program when it did work for those 2 days.

could not get tech support,will have to return item
