2.0 out of 5 stars Not Easy to Begin, August 19, 2001

By 

Clair Miller (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PhotoSUITE 4.0 (CD-ROM)

Photosuite looks like it will be a good program if I can ever learn how to use it. I think it would be easy if there were any instructions provided with the program. There is a booklet provided with the program that shows what you can do with the program but not how to do it. Very frustrating! I can see the tools on the screen but can't get them to work. I do not appreciate having to spend my very limited time trying to make the program do things I am sure it can do. I don't mind printing a users manual from a readme file but the readme file appears to be only for trouble shooting. I would not recommend this program simple because of the lack of documentation available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid This Product, September 3, 2002

By 

Baycity (Tarzana, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PhotoSUITE 4.0 (CD-ROM)

While PhotoSuite 4.0 has some interesting features, it's quirks outweigh any benefits they might offer.

On the plus side: it's guides to enhancing and cropping photos are simple and straightforward -- but then, so are most of the better imaging software.

On the negative side: when you create an album of photos, the pictures remain where they originally were stored on your hard drive. Which makes uploading them to a printing service (say, Ofoto) extremely complicated, difficult and frustrating. Further, because of this approach it is easy to erase a picture unintentionally.

Also of note: to talk to a support technician will cost you...!! So if you do have problems, the cost of getting help is nearly as much as the software itself.

I'm back on Amazon to find decent imaging software. Not only can't I recommend PhotoSuite, but based on the problems I've had with other Roxio products, I can't recommend the company either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very poor documentation, December 27, 2001

By 

Ron S. (Hinsdale, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PhotoSUITE 4.0 (CD-ROM)

This product came bundled with my digital camera. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this product. There is very little documentation provided. The "help" function is not organized well and it is difficult to find answers to your questions. If you are new to digital photography, you will be frustrated with the program.
