I was not able to use this program at all. It is supposed to be a plug in for photoshop, photoimpact, etc. I have photoimpact and was not able to use it at all.

Fantastic application for portrait photography. It's a little slow in execution but the results are worth the wait. Nice program!

Summary
It does what its title says i.e soften the image. Useful tool for me as a fractal artist because most fractals are ultra-sharp. And it is more or less free if, that is, if you can live with the annoying nag screen. I can and I am even able to save the processed images with it. Thanks for this neat utility.
