 - Product & support fall shortI purchased the software in order to be able to make a photo show and then burn it to a VCD. First the software tells me I cannot add my own music with this version, then it does not burn to make the VCD. It will burn to make a CD though. I contacted Nero for support and have had one email (which did not resolve the problem) in two weeks. I replied, but have had no response. I would look for another company who will give better support. Rating:  - wish I would have knownIt is a very easy program to figure out, BUT the few things I don't like is there is not even much clip art, you can't add your own, there is no choice of font just one plain one they ofer. I wish I could put it on a dvd but can't. You would have to order through them which is too expensive for one dvd.I paid too much for this program. It would be okay for a child. Rating:  - SatisfiedSoftware was ordered for my wife. She has not used it more than once but found it easy to use. I could say more but as yet total acceptance of the program has not been attained. Rating: - Nero Photo Show EliteThe program is very easy to use and makes viewing your pictures a snap. The only draw back is that you cant print your own projects such as calenders. Sending them out to be printed is costly especially if you have a good photo printer. Rating: - Lousy Software - Unreliable, Slow, Very Difficult To UseI purchased this software because it was associated with SnapFish, a company I've come to trust. That was a big mistake. 1) The software is very sluggish. I have a nearly new PC with a fast processor and 1.5GB RAM and PhotoShow takes up to a minute to perform the most simple function. More complex functions, such as creating a slideshow with a hundred or so photos, takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 45. 2) The user interface is very rudamentary - like the old DOS style interfaces - and is very non-intuitive and difficult to navigate. You have to take several steps to figure out how to perform the most basic functions. 3) The software is unreliable. In the first 3 days I've had to uninstall and reinstall it twice (at Technical Support's direction) to fix problems. Additionally it lost the thumbnails for one of my albums with nearly 250 photos and Technical Support could only offer that I delete it and try to recreate the album. This was half a weekend's worth of work. 4) The funtionality it does have is very basic and common to all software in this category. In addition, half the options lead you to a screen to order products and services from SnapFish. The free version is worth it but the Deluxe version is not worth a dime. I foolishly paid $59.95 for it without checking out the reviews first because of SnapFish's recommendation.
