5.0 out of 5 stars Eat your heart out Adobe, March 18, 2010

I have been using Adobe Elements 4 to improve my pictures but I was forced to make a change when I recently purchased a new PC running Windows 7. Upgrading my Adobe Elements would have cost $100 so I looked for alternatives. I was a bit suspicious of Photo Explosion. After all, its price was $30 with a $10 mail-in rebate. However, it turns out to be a great package. Easy to use and far more capability that I will probably ever use. And, the software comes with a very useful manual. I haven't had a decent manual in years from anyone else. I recommend, without any reservations that you buy Photo Explosion.

Photo Explosion-Version 4 is an editing program for photos. It includes templates, clip art, and different photography projects. It is easy to edit your photos after uploading. It even has a makeover studio to retouch your pictures. There are all kinds of photo effects that you can create including panoramas. I love all the included frames and all the scrapbooking items. The program itself is organized well. You can import photos directly from your camera, scanner , or CD's. Photo Explosion has many of the same features as Adobe's Photoshop but easier to use. The program allows you to easily share pictures through email or albums. You can even burn a DVD with this program. There is also a 90 money back guarantee.

1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating - one star is too many, August 20, 2010

This review is from: Photo Explosion 4.0 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

I've spent an hour trying to do something as simple as draw a circle on a photo. The manual says to insert one using the "Insert Menu", but that menu is not to be found. Help does not mention it, nor does the manual index say where it is. I'm new to this application, but I should be able to find answers using the help menu and the manual. Nova's web site has no help feature. In fact, much of the site is not working. The "Learning Center" tab instead goes to an application to join the "User Community". The "User Community" tab goes to "Product Updates", and the "Product Support" tab goes to "Page not found". What a joke. The site promises a 90-day "satisfaction guarantee or your money back", but no supporting info, no way to actually use the "guarantee". Don't waste your time with this product or this company.
