PhotoImpact includes the most extensive set of creativity tools for designing striking images and content. Amazon.com Review: Usable by the beginner, but packed with plenty of higher-end features for the expert, Ulead's PhotoImpact 6.0 delivers an impressive image editing tool with excellent support for Internet graphics. Whether you want to edit photos and put them online or create original Web graphics and animations, this economically priced package offers an appealing mix of power, with an interface that's truly easy to use. As a standard image editor, PhotoImpact offers an impressive range of capabilities. You'll get a good range of drawing tools and photo retouching abilities. The tool excels in letting you add digital effects to scanned content. In testing, we were able to handle basic photo retouching easily, as well as experiment with a wide range of graphics special effects and filters. We liked the support for creating text effects here, a must for Web page graphics. (The product bundles with hooks to Digimarc's digital watermarking so you can add watermarks in your image files before distributing over the Internet.) Get control of prepackaged artwork using the convenient style gallery feature, which makes it easy to preview and make use of the bundled photos, clipart, and textures in your own creations. Generally, we found the interface here to be easy to use, with many basic features conveniently placed for beginners, and plenty of advanced functionality to explore for expert users willing to go a little further. When it comes to the Internet, this new release of PhotoImpact really shines. First, the product lets you create custom Web graphics (like original graphics buttons) easily. You can optimize the size of Web graphics for faster downloads, and the support here for creating GIF animations is good. When you are satisfied with your artwork, the product makes it a cinch to export it to HTML. A wizard offers the ability to create virtual photo albums and slideshows with just a click of the mouse, a feature that will be appreciated by the more casual user. We also liked the product's ability to import existing Web pages. (The product can read over 30 types of graphics files, making it a flexible performer.) In all, PhotoImpact 6.0 is a well-designed graphics software package that will let most anyone be productive with photos and original graphics on the Internet. --Rich Dragan Amazon.com Product Description: PhotoImpact 6 is an image editor that addresses both image editing and Web-page creation.

 Rating:  - Quick and dependableI started out with V4.2, so I'm pretty used to navigating through the editing process quickly. I'm much faster with it than in Photoshop, BTW. Nothing much has changed, just some improvements with the web design part of it. I use it strictly for photography. It's fast, the undo arrow is right above your work and goes back I think 6-7 steps if you don't like what you did. It's a dependable, solid program that'll still be useful in years to come. Maybe Win XP has something to do with it, but I can't ... Read More Rating:  - A really solid productI have been using PhotoImpact for several months and it is a lot of fun to use. With all the options that this product has, there is going to be a real learning curve, but don't let that put you off, keep the manuel handy and play with it. The selection tools are great and so are the touch up tools. I've used it to touch up and modify many pictures and most of the special effects allow you to get quite expressive. Some of the special effects, however are a little gemicky and of little practicle ... Read More Rating: - Biggest Bang for the BuckI really hate to spend a lot of money for anything and I shope around. I bought this product because I thought it had the best features for the price. I wanted to make sure it had a gif animator and it did. I will have to admit that this product is definitely not for novices and there is a learning curve. I would think this product is of professional grade. There are some great home edition products for novices like the photo editors that come bundled when you purchase a digital camera ... Read More Rating: - Does everythingPreviously, I have used more limited U-lead products bundled with my scanner. I was satisfied with their performance, but felt the need for more capabilities to edit photos and drawings for my educational websites. The new program, Photoimpact, more than justifies the purchase. In particular, its capability to optimize images for inclusion in websites makes it a "Must-have" for the website author. My ownly negative is that it takes a while to load. But I can tolerate that in view of the ... Read More Rating: - I LOVE my PhotoImpact!...I've used PhotoImpact back before it was called that (and didn't know what I was using, I just knew I liked it better than some others I had used). I didn't learn what I had been using was PhotoImpact untill I got PhotoImpact4. LOL I've tried Corel, Print Artist (althoug Print Artist isn't an imaging editing program, I do use it, too), PaintShop , MGI, PhotoDeluxe, the JASC program, and various others that come with this printer, or that printer or this scanner and that. I've never used Photo Shop, ... Read More |
