Digg!
I received this product from Amazon Vine program. It costs approximately the same price as Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Picture It, Microsoft Digital Image Suite, Corel Photopaint which I formerly used.
Installation went smoothly and after that, it downloaded the latest update from Serif web site. However, before I can use the software, the registration wizard keeps prompting to call the the toll-free number 1-888-644-2766. If I do not wish to register by pressing Quit, the program ends immediately.
I called the number, the office was closed at 6PM EST. How can I use the sofware then?
Don’t bother. I go back to Photoshop Elements. This is the first time in my life, I was forced to register a sofware before even using it. It should not behave that way. It should allow people to use it and periodically it reminds the users to register until certain time, it stops running.

Well the product itself doesn’t suck but the support and the registeration process is terrible. I would NOT recommend this product unless you’re into infomerical (at registeration) and frustration.
I should add this product is geared towards experienced photo editing not your everyday scrapbooking, etc. It’s as good as Photoshop in many ways and I have had no trouble and did not need any tutorials. I suspect that doing the upgrade bypassed a lot of the installation hassles. It is a chore and they could avoid a lot of frustration by telling you that online registeration is possible. They have you call so they can try to convince you to buy other products. The call is to England per a sales rep so not should why the eastern time is listed? I have no issues with the working softwear only the control Serif seems bent on holding over its users. I don’t recommend this program for anyone other than experienced photo editing folks. Quite the learning curve!

I bought this product this afternoon after reading these reviews thinking may there was someone being mistaken about this the company making the product that has such great reviews from some professional sources. . . well I have to say this company cannot brag on its customer service procedures. . if you call you get no answer. . sooo you register online and you are emailed an registration code that is “invalid” so the program will not open. . . I have never bought a program like this and I do not plan to keep this one I will be sending back to serif for a refund. I will look around a little while longer and search customer policies first before then see what the company has to offer in the way of a product.

This product gives you a lot of options to work with, which are helpful for a beginer. I dont think it is product for a pro.
I have been enjoying it and so far my experience has been satisfactory. Will keep you posted.

Fantastic photo editing software for the price! I definitely recommend this for someone
looking for an easy to use yet powerful photo editing system. This program is easy to use
with multiple “Pro” features that you’d expect to see in higher end programs. Like
“remove unwanted objects,” “restore damaged photos,” and create “flawless portrait
makeovers” just to mention a few of the key features. If you’re looking for a quality editing program at a fantastic great price. look no further. . .
Pros: Many features at a fantastic price!
Cons: registration can be quite an hassle. . .
