Photo Impact Pro 13

I was very disappointed by this product because most of the effects are cheesy pencil-scratches and lame image distortions. The Cartoon feature is also lame because it doesnt outline for crap and you cant manipulate it easily. The only effect I like is Emboss, which lets you choose any solid color and the depth of embossing the pic to look like a metal plate. Other than that, I dont use it because the VicMan Photo Editor freeware I already had is much better and easier to use, has a Caricature plugin to manipulate pics, and its FREE - unlike the $70 this program costs! I shouldve just bled a few more $$$ for the real Photoshop, I guess...

10 years ago, I would have given this 5 stars. Ive been using it and earlier versions for many years. But it hasnt been updated since 2008 and has passed from ULEAD, which was bought by Corel, and then was sold to Nova Development because Corel already had a competing line. Nova doesnt even show it on their web page any longer. IMHO, it ought to be cheaper by now. So consider these factors when you consider purchasing.

The program would not load onto my Toshiba laptop.

ON THE COMPANY NAME SPACE YOU MUST WRITE SOMTHING IN ORDER TO HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER TO WORK

Ive been using this product since its inception and as far as I can tell it is as complete as Photo Shop. It will run Photo Shop Plugins.

I havent used it since I bought it. In fact, I deleted it off my computer because I have CS4 now.

I have had previous versions of PhotoImpact, and love their product. I like to get the latest version, and this version is well worth purchasing, however, I have not had time to review all the new features.

I have used various versions of PhotoImpact since the mid 90s, since I believe version 4 was included with a scanner my family owned. It is a solid program, with a very good selection of editing tools. I absolutely stand behind it as one of the best options for an affordable photo and image editing software suite.

I purchased this for a Windows 11 laptop. Ive been using version 8 for years and I really like it.

It packed with so many features and the price is a great deal. Impact13 has won me many photo competitions and shows off my best pictures. This product is great for anyone starting up in photography!
