Kelleher Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:41:58 +0000 http://softwareshub.com/symantec-pcanywhere-12-5/#comment-1714 I bought this before I read the reviews here. I figured Symantec was safe and I already own Version 11. 0. Amazon shipped me host only and when I complained they took it back and shipped me host only again. Now I'm out extra return postage they did not cover and still have no remote. What a major ripoff! This product advertising needs to be fixed ASAP to read HOST ONLY! or honor the advertising and ship the full version. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought this before I read the reviews here.

Geisler Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:46:44 +0000 http://softwareshub.com/adobe-illustrator-cs5/#comment-1712 I'm a graphics professional and have been using Adobe software for 20 years and this is by far the most amazing suite of tools that they have produced. The upgrades to Illustrator are impressive-Bristle Brush (natural media painting tools that are vector), Perspective Grid, Shape Builder, enhanced Artboards, and more. I am already using all of these features to great benefit in my workflow. I've also used the new Blender Brushes in Photoshop which are very nice and I have played with Content Aware Fill and have been stunned by how well it works. It puts a lot of power into the hands of even casual users of the application. If you have any reservations simply go to their site and download a 30 day trial version and test some of these great new features.

I have been using Adobe illustrator from version 1 and this is by far the most impressive upgrade!. From Beautiful Strokes- to Natural Media Brushes, Perspective Grid, Shape Builder and Drawing Enhancements. The new experience with Flash Catalyst is amazing. Now you can take Illustrator design into Flash Catalyst and create interactive experience without writing code. It is simply a great experience for a designer. Do not waste time. Just down load a 30 day trial. There is no way back! Rating: 5 / 5 I am professional graphics designer and have been using Adobe Graphics software for over 20 years.

Or moved them around so bad as to where you need to higher a private eye to find them. Layout is no reason to buy this program. You can customize your layout in CS4.

]]> Comment on Portrait Professional Studio 9 by K. Dyment http://softwareshub.com/portrait-professional-studio-9/comment-page-1/#comment-1692 K. Dyment Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:41:47 +0000 http://softwareshub.com/portrait-professional-studio-9/#comment-1692 I love this program! It has some sort of new technology to instantly make faces in portraits look perfect. You can change eye color, skin color, make small adjustments on shapes of lips and eyes. It only takes you about 5-10 minutes to perfect a retouch job on any picture with a face in it. This program is NOT a PHOTOSHOP type program. It's only good for retouching photos that have a face in them. But it is really amazing what you can do with this program in very little time. Retouching that could have taken you an hour or more per photo will only take you a couple minutes in Portrait professional. It's really great to remove blemishes and large pores/uneven skin. I love it! You can try a trial version on Portrait Professional 9's website. Rating: 5 / 5 I love this program! It has some sort of new technology to instantly make faces in portraits look perfect.

]]> Comment on Bitdefender Total Security 2010 5PC / 1 year by A. Rhodes http://softwareshub.com/bitdefender-total-security-2010-5pc-1-year/comment-page-1/#comment-1694 A. Rhodes Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:07:38 +0000 http://softwareshub.com/bitdefender-total-security-2010-5pc-1-year/#comment-1694 My rating reflects the fact that you can buy this elsewhere in Amazon for 1/2 the price. At the lower price I think BitDefender 2010 Total Security is internet security software the way it should be built. The installation asks you what type of user you are, with the choices of typical, gamer, parent, and a fourth choice I forgot. It then asks if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced computer user. It then sets up the software based on your answers. Though advanced, I choose intermediate since I do not want to think about computers when I get home. I think the setup turned out perfect for me. The newest version scans almost twice as fast as BitDefender 2009 and is far less resource intensive. I always thought BitDefender was efficient relative to other internet software, but 2010 has made another jump in performance. I was able to play Fallout 3, run a scan, and not notice a problem. I like Total Security over other versions of BitDefender since it has all the features I want such as a registry optimizer and file backup. These are not available on other versions of BitDefender. Of course, "Does the software protect well?" Results vary between different testers, but in general BitDefender does very well relative to others. But I work part time in IT security and I know keeping your software up to date and running scans regularly is more far more important than the type of software. Caveat, I do not use the parental controls or spam filter. So why not five stars? I do not think there is such a thing as five star internet security software. First, all security software will have problems running on some computers. I have had Norton and TrendMicro not work on home computers, and read cases of Kapursky, and McAfee not running on other computers. I am sure BitDefender 2010 will have problems on some computers. Second none give great technical support. I have a four year computer science degree and I struggle to understand all security software technical support. The main advice I tell people is go to an internet security site and try an evaluation copy. If it works and you like it, then buy a copy from Amazon where it will be cheaper. You can usually just plug the registration key in the software package into your evaluation copy. I have tried recent copies of McAfee, Norton, Kapursky, McAfee, TrendMicro and Avast. But with great software with a price for two years what others charge for one year (except Avast), I think you should start with BitDefender.
