CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 10.0
""Stars" dont give full story; give product a try"
Pros: I hate it when a person gives a product 1-star bec. they had NON-product related problems, like the "license time running out". This program is so cheap compared to the "God Photoshop" and yet gives you the same goodies; try it, you'll like it.
Cons: I have an older version & hesitate to try the new one after reading these reviews. Hey, product makers, Being "user-friendly" will bring more customers.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 10.0
Pros: I have loved this program since we got it packaged with our scanner years ago. Features are very intuitive and easy to use for those of us who don't need the high power of some of the professional programs.
Cons: some of the features have been moved or changed in the way you access them - I found this annoying. Just more of a learning curve getting familiar with them again.
