Editors' Review

Download.com staffJanuary 15, 2008

Perhaps a touch less powerful than the most elaborate photo-editing packages, Corel has expanded Ulead's PhotoImpact and blown it up. The download file is nearly double the size of the last version, but PhotoImpact X3 makes a concerted effort to compete with Adobe. Positioned between Elements and Photoshop, this app delivers everything most users need: editing tools, effects, and ready-made elements for creations.

The wide variety of textures, frames, effects, animations, and brushes wouldn't necessarily justify the download, but the app is more or less a snap to use. Wizard dialogs let you instantly create attractive and functional Web-page objects, including buttons, image maps, bullets, and backgrounds. The program works with layers, too. The traditional photo-editing interface has only one peculiarity: the main docked panel, which can hold all the other panels and quickly hide and show them. It also lets you quickly switch among work-space layouts. Beginners, for instance, can display just the controls for basic editing.

All in all, this powerful graphics program will appeal to photographers and Web designers who need a significantly cheaper alternative to monster packages such as Photoshop.

Grande programma di grafica/web tuttofare.
3/18/2016
Pros
Ci puoi fare di tutto. Facile per tutti (usandolo senza pretese) e impegnativo per pochi (usandolo da prof). Quando era figlio di Ulead l'ho amato senza riserve.
Cons
Corel l'acquistò per sbarazzarsi di un concorrente pericoloso e lo uccise con premeditazione, a tradimento (niente sviluppo).
Summary
PIECE OF SHIT !!!

Well you can do it the hard way and wrestle with Photoshop or you can do it the easy way with this program. You get the same results.
Cons
Not really.

Summary
This is my favorite graphics editor. I have been using it and buying updates for over 15 years (initially as Ulead PhotoImpact). Highly recommended.
No Longer Works with Windows 7
RobertKarl2/27/2012
Pros
It is an outstanding program worth much more than it is sold for. Free try version works great for 30 days
Cons
Coral's activation code that you buy will not work. Contacting Coral you just get an attitude that they no longer longer support PhotoImpact X3 on Windows 7.
Summary
It works on Windows 7 for the 30 day free trial. After that you can not purchase it.
Easy to use
FairyMuch11/16/2011
Pros
Simple easy to understand even for kids!
Cons
You have to click double when Save as is in use till you get nameimage.ufo or when you need another of the same image again nameimage.gif click till the .gif is showing after the name. Otherwise it doesn't work and it will leave a blanc on the filetype. To correct it open with Ulead Photoimapct again and do the steps Save as nameimage.(filetype you need)over!
Summary
I use it for several years now and you don't have to take classes for it ;-)
Love the program. Sure hope its the same as before.
