This review is from: Photo Explosion 2.0 (CD-ROM)

I have used the first version of this software for some time now. I recently received the new version 2.0 through the mail. I am quite happy with it! The application is still simple to use and easy to understand even for the novice.

It has some great features:

1. tons of text effects
2. over 1,200 frames and boarders
3. 600+ photo effects
4. the ability to clone
5. over 2,500 different photo projects
6. slide shows with music on your DVD player
7. Palm pilot software

4.0 out of 5 stars about the SOFTWARE....sheesh., August 12, 2005

Friendly Neighbor "Fair Buyer" (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Photo Explosion 2.0 (CD-ROM)

I don't know anything about the rebate deal that someone complained about. I don't understand how that review helps anyone - talking about the rebate. But to each his own.
Listen, I have used this software on every single one of my photos in the past year. And I have gotten NOTHING but highest compliments on the photos. This is honest to God's truth!! I have a page on a very very popular website about dogs, and everyone has complimented the photos - everyone who has seen my page. So photo explosion and nova aren't THAT bad, huh?
You can do just about anything with your photos. I have had this for a year or more maybe - time flies when you are having fun. And it is every bit as fun as it was the day I bought it. What's more? I keep learning new things every time I use it. I use this to make calendars, labels, crafts, iron ons, make gag sheets like magazine covers, id name tags, body switches, the list is endless of what you can do in the project area.
As far as the photo part, WOW!! The list is endless there as well. You can morph, put stars (bright sparkling ones) bubbles, adjust transparencies, even put a very realistic spotlight on the picture and choose the colors of it. You can antique the photos, - make it part black and white / part color. I just LOVE Photo Explosion.
So, why do I give it four stars then? Not because it isn't incredible, but just in hopes that Photo Explosion will use that to put more props in. I am a prop lover. And there are a lot. But for a prop addict like myself, I want MORE!!!! LOL!
You know, I just don't like when people post reviews while they are emotional from ONE bad experience. I don't think that is fair to them. And I love this product. It really is worth it. Several people have asked where I make my pictures and I proudly tell them Photo Explosion. I came here to buy one for a friend in Scotland actually. And just had to make sure that you heard about the software and not about some resentful rebate confusion review. Have fun!!! You will LOVE IT! I promise!!!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nova Development does not pay rebates, June 29, 2005

David Scott "davidsco38" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Photo Explosion 2.0 (CD-ROM)

My recommendation is to avoid all Nova Development products if there is a rebate involved, or you think you might need to deal with customer service. This company does NOT pay rebates on time, if at all, and has some of the WORST customer service you will ever encounter. No Wonder, turns out they have an F grade with the BBB and are the subject of numerous complaints with the Attorney General's office. My advice: Avoid ANY products by Nova Developement at all costs.
