I had a great deal of difficulty installing this product in spite of the fact that my computer system ratings were more than double the minimum requirements. I suggest at the very least one invests in the Photo Explosion 3.0 Deluxe as you can get most of the features from the base program in shareware. The good news is there is a 30 day money back guarantee on the product if you follow the instructions. I never got it up and running in spite of several loads and reloads. I am a fairly competent computer operator.

Photo Explosion is a wonderful photo editing software that is affordable, easy to use, very self-explanatory, and gives some great results to photos that can use a little pizazz. My wife and I both are happy with this product ad would recommend it to anyone from novice photographer to professionals.

I am desperately trying to become a better photographer and know how to organize, fix, and use my photos in my website. I have had several different photo imaging programs and am still searching for one that will let me put a shadow on the edges of a photo..
This program has the closest I have come to what I'm trying to do, but I'm still working with it..
Feel comfident in purchasing this program.. It is very good, clear instructions..
You will not be disappointed..
