2.0 out of 5 stars Some functions doesn't work well, poor quality, November 1, 2004

By	Joe Brawn (Florida) - See all my reviews

PictureIt/Digital Image Pro Ver. 9 was better quality software. Version 10 made improvements on automating some tasks but made other fundamental functions work really badly: If you apply Red Eye correction, most of times when trying to increase the effect to achieve a natural eye color, the software inserts like a Black ring around the eyes!! Also, the sharpen function works pretty, pretty bad!!

I don't understand why releasing to market software with these kinds of bugs on features that are used the most? why if they were working perfectly on version 9?

I returned this very expensive ("very poor" price/performance) software to buy other program where all the editing functions work as they should!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not near as good as the older versions, August 13, 2005

By	Ben M. Cowan (Gunnison, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I owned a couple older versions of this program. I bought this becuase my older software wasn't compatible with my new XP operating system. I was very disappointed when I found Microsoft has dropped many of the functions such as artistic edges and text enhancements such as shadows. I loved these features and found they recommended an "upgrade" to the Digital Image Suite. I thoguht I would do this, but I found you can't "upgrade." You have to buy the full version of Digital Image Suite for the full price. Ridiculus! I went ahead and purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements. I recommend you do too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used to be better, December 2, 2004

By	Floridian Amy "photo tweaker" (Melbourne, FL) - See all my reviews

I used to have an older version of Picture It! and it had slightly different settings. I miss being able to change the focus of the photo and see the result on the screen. It is important for some photos to be more focused and others to be softened. There is an option to change the focus but not until you get to the printing stage and then you can't see what it will look like. Another idea would be to change the icons back to their familiar shapes with the apple for tint, the eye for brightness and focus, etc. Overall a good product but I look foward to seeing improvements.
