CNET Editors' review
Designed as an easy way to upload images Kodak's Ofoto Web site, this program does its job but lacks extensive editing features. The download and installation are quick and easy, and the polished interface lets you grab files from your camera or your PC. The program allows you to order prints direct from Kodak using a single-click, as well as create basic slide shows. Don't expect extensive editing features, but you will find basic tools for red-eye removal, image rotation, and cropping. The one-step "instant fix" option will appeal to novice users and those pressed for time. In the end, this free program only suits folks who regularly use Kodak's Ofoto service.Publisher's Description

"Nice easy tool."
Version: OfotoNow 3.0
Summary
Could use a change in the Red Eye department. It would be much better to give us a round tool for a round job instead of a square one. Needs a stepped undo also. It is aggrivating to get one eye right and one wrong then have undo both of them

"Excellent for automatic enhance and red eye reduction"
Version: OfotoNow 3.0
Summary
As other reviewers have mentioned, this product doesn't offer very much for manual image editing but it's one-step "instant fix" and red eye fix features are excellent, and it's extremely fast and easy to use.
I used the instant fix on four photos with exposure and colour saturation problems (faded) and compared the results to ArcSoft's PhotoImpression 4 automatic fix, Jasc's Paint Shop 8 automatic fix and manually fixing the photos using PhotoImpression 4. OfotoNow was way better than PhotoImpression auto-fix, quite a bit better than my manual fix (I'm new at this) and almost as good as Paintshop's auto-fix.
The red eye fix tool is extremely easy to use and seems to produce good results. It doesn't offer detailed control over eye colour like Paintshop but I'm willing to trade that for the speed and convenience.
I wouldn't say that this program should be your only image editor but it can handle most of simple image fixes quickly, conveniently and, of course, for free!
