2.0 out of 5 stars Version 6 a let down from version 5.5, May 15, 2010

This review is from: ArcSoft PhotoStudio 6 (CD-ROM)

After using photo studio 5.5 for a couple of years I had to update to Photo Studio 6 after Installing Windows 7. (Win 7 is a must for those using digital photo or camcorder work.) 6.0 is the worst upgrade of any software I have used. It is in cropping that it fails. I crop my 4x3 into 16x9 10x8 and several other precise images.If you don't crop your images then you'll be ok with 6.0.
Pro:
It now displays preview items larger if you're less than full scan. Big Deal!
There are improvements in rotating images and several other minor improvements.
Con:
5.5 right click had these needed commands:
cut, copy, actual view, fit in window, zoom in, and zoom out (but needed crop).
6.0 right click has these needed commands:
crop and zoom to (which is in percentage and not as useful, will not display fit in window.DUMB.
5.5 when you select image using left click, size of image is shown in position box.
6.0 position box removed which makes it harder to crop images. WHY? DUMB! For my use, this was a disaster! 5.5 is 5 stars and 6.0 is 2 stars.
If you do not have Windows 7, then you will find 5.5 is a great basic program and at $17.95 on Amazon lots of bang for the buck. Windows 7 users will pay $ 74.99. Go elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, March 29, 2011

This review is from: ArcSoft PhotoStudio 6 (CD-ROM)

I was used to using Picture Publisher 8. I upgraded my operating system to Windows 7. Picture Publisher 8 will not work with it. I got PhotoStudio 5.5 with my Canon 8800F so I thought I would buy version 6 for the new operating system.

For me at least it was a mistake. It is very difficult to use with no manual. There is a manual for version 5.5 but not version 6.

I checked the Help tab for a tutorial but there is none.

I went to the web site and looked at the forums. There are all kinds of complaints about how difficult it is to use.

I just hate to think about buying something else but it looks like I will have to. I wish I would have saved my $79.00.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think so.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've used this item before and it's very good and the price was right., August 25, 2011

I had the old Photo Studio 4 and I liked it but it wouldn't work on Windows 7, therefore I purchased the 6 has a lot more on it than the 4
