Editor's review of Ulead PhotoImpact 12

- "Picture perfect"
- Version reviewed: Ulead PhotoImpact 12
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 12
Pros: It does a very good job in ver 10. I purchased ver 10 few years back, I still use ver 10.
Cons: Tried ver 11 and now 12, I'll keep my ver 10. Both new versions are sluggish, slow, and a mess of a tool bar.

Version: Ulead PhotoImpact 12
Pros: Nice effects for both text & graphics, stamps, templates and clipart are included. 3D fx are cool.
Cons: Interface can be very confusing, some menus are way too clogged with items, many of the included stamps, templates and clipart must be downloaded after installation. Some features are not intuitive enough.
