Product Description
From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
For a rock-solid children's drawing and painting program, you can't go wrong with this classic. Be forewarned, however, although this is an upgrade of the original product, there aren't many new features besides text-to-speech capabilities and some new clip art and music. When it was first released back in 1991, Kid Pix's design power turned heads. Unfortunately the original drawing program is essentially the same. This version of Kid Pix is a bit like a trusty Model-T when compared to new programs like Flying Colors 2.0 and Disney's Magic Artist Studio which have many more tools and options. The opening menu offers five activities. Most children go directly to the drawing portion of the program to start creating. The other four areas let kids make moving pictures, watch cartoons, make a puppet dance by pressing keys on the keyboard and learn about animation. Kid Pix handily loads onto your hard disk, so no CD is required. You'll find a nice range of paint tools, a vast array of tiny stamps and the ability to erase your picture with a stick of dynamite. You can easily create professional-looking slide shows out of an entire classroom of children's work- great for back-to-school nights. We appreciated the program's ability to switch between Spanish and English. The new text-to-speech feature reads back children's writing and pictures can be imported or exported in BMP (PICT for the Mac), JPG or GIF formats. Kid Pix earns every bit of its 4.4 star rating, but we'd love to see some new design features and a smoother interface.

Nothing Special,
By
This review is from: Kid Pix Studio Deluxe (CD-ROM)
I recently received this software and find it to be similar to several other drawing programs that are available for free online. I suppose that this would be a good purchase for a child who absolutely loves drawing on the computer, but a child who is only occasionally interested in drawing programs, just stick to what's available for free online.
I would also like to add that if you purchase this product from ccsoftare (as I did), do not expect to receive a newly packaged product. Instead, you may (as I did) receive just a CD-Rom in a paper envelope. Amazon's Condition Guidelines specifically state that any software being sold as "New" must come in an unopened package with a UPC symbol. This seller not only ignored this guideline, but was offensively flippant in his/her response to my negative review. I would not reccommend doing business with this seller.
