Editor's review of Ulead PhotoImpact 11

- "Picture perfect"
- Version reviewed: Ulead PhotoImpact 11
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 11
Pros: None
Cons: I downloaded the trial program. Looked good. I went to create a banner and kept getting the error "Can not get URL from push file" No big deal, errors can be fixed.....that is if you can find a fix and get support to find a fix. I searched the help file...nothing. I searched the online knowledge base, nothing. Next, let me try tech support .. no support unless you buy first ... ok, let me try customer service .. no response. Why would one want to buy from a company that will not support their customer? How are you supoose to evaluate a product when it does not work? If tech support is important to you, recommend not buying.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 11
"Ulead Steps up and and hits a home run"
Pros: Excellent Stability, Powerful tools, versatile and user friendly - PhotoImpact 10 was riddled with user problems and I made mention that ULead needs to listen to when the engineering team says "its ready" before going to market and PhotoImpact 11 is what version 10 should have been. So in this way of looking at perfection, I am pleased to say that PhotoImpact 11 is a winner. The best price for the versatility and performance and no nagging issues on any of the machines I use. Oh what a relief!..The interface is intuitive, I guess its cool to use different user modes rather then pack every tool on one screen. Like Kool Moves, there are different User level screens, all customizable so there is less redundancy. The advanced interface is beautiful, and the graphics resolution is better and better. Congratualtions Users, fans and Ulead. You can do anything with this program. There are alot of shortcuts and tool effect variations and as user intuitive as it is if you read the manual it will open up all the fast jumps and douuble your rendering power. How good, my partners lady friend is a web site designer and when she took a look at the textures and deptchs of my new projects she was amazed. Most of the rendering is by way of PhotoImpact 11. PhotoImpact 11 is one of the best cross editing solutions as it is compatible. you can somewhat manage PSD files as well.
Cons: needs more plug-ins to approach PhotoShop Bottom Line, A good example is Xara's new Extreme. The plug ins are great and with Uleads friendliness, if the plug-ins from Alien Skin and other companies were more plentiful, the only major difference between PI11, PhotoShop, Xara and Corel would be in the vector and bit resoltuion technology. No single application can do it all.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 11
"comments on photoimpact pro 8.5"
Pros: nothing. i wonder what the people who wrote it were on, or how it then passed quality control. it didn't crash my system. this doesn't say much. oh, the open a web page as an image is nice.
Cons: counterintuitive. it took me three hours to figure out how to do multiple prints. you figure it out. then the multiple print has no print options. absolutely horrible as far as being user friendly. when you look in help for 'print multiple' it tells you that you can print several of the same, or different pictures. duh. i use to use arcsoft photoimpression, but photoimpression was better four years ago. best advise is to preuse the reviews and see what other users have to recommend. haven't upgraded to version 11, but don't see unlead delivering based on this versions poor performance.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 11
Pros: This is a fun and easy program to use. For those who want quick fixes to photos and don't want to mess with a complicated Photoshop interface, this program is great. There are lots of presets and easy to use menus. I found myself enjoying this program. The download is a decent 30days.
Cons: I always complain about programs not being free despite the fact that I know most programs can't be free. Then again, wouldn't this program be better if it was free?
