i use photoshop CC (the latest) plus i have used corel and others to edit etc. in my view this is just as good if not better than PS. easy to navigate and so simple to learn as you go. ps can be quite difficult to find what you are looking for but this is great. pen and path tool is a lot easier. the layers are not as complicated too. PLUS its free so in my book that is just fantastic.
Cons
can't think of any, only good things to find in my view
Summary
very easy to use and great to learn as you go if you have never used or have little experience of editing/drawing software
Excellent Photoshop replacement!

Pros
Small, fast, powerful, stable, very well supported... and free!
Cons
It seems trite to even try to think of any downsides to this software, but seriously, I can't think of any.
Summary
It's hard to imagine something better!
Like Photoshop? Then...

Pros
If you like Photoshop, you'll like this. For those that have used PS the learning curve is very easy. If you haven't then not so much.
Cons
Not real thrilled with how to add various tools to the board. Other than that, have no other beef.
Summary
Like it. Use it. Enjoy it.
Didn't work on my system!

Pros
Great features
Cons
Appears to have stopped my windows 7 computer from booting!
Summary
I had this program on my Windows XP computer and I never had a problem with it. I really liked the included features it has. I thought it was a great program! I found a few of the features a little bit hard to use, but nothing major.
The problem came when I tried to install it on my Windows 7 laptop. It worked fine at first. I didn't notice any problems. The problem came the next time I turned on my Windows 7 computer. It wouldn't boot! I had to use System Restore to fix it! I wish this program would have worked for me!
Top Professional Look

Pros
- Quality of graphics.
- Quality of tools.

Minimal learning curve -- gotta read the documentation, at least I do.

Very Professional Graphics
jerz
Pros
Easy to create Professional Graphics AND priced to move -- it's FREE! I keep finding new tricks. Sometimes I even read stuff! If you read the stuff -- you'll probably love this even more when you get it to do exactly what you want.
Cons
Not having read much of the documentation, it can be difficult to get results. YOU'LL NEED TO READ and allow time for the learning curve. But, what little I've been able to do made me HAVE TO write something here -- since I believe this is an unknown product to most folks.
Summary
Super impressive. Well, gotta go read.
Enormous functionality for free!
