I tried other picture editors including Photoshop and much prefer Micrografx Digital Edition 10.

I am looking into an XP emulation program which is supposed to work.

I would be happy to share this with you when I get it and test it.

While for a cheap photo editing program it does a pretty good job for a new user who isnt really into hand touching or adjusting photos (good for the general home user for example)I find Jasc Paint Shop pro used to do much better a few years ago, havent payed with Jasc in a few years now.

For people who dont want to fork out dough for a real high end photo editor, Fireworks is my favorite graphicsphoto prog around, (I dont care for Photoshop no matter how many people want to make it popular) I dont like the Adobe Photoshop interface and hope that, now Adobe acquired Macromedia, Phtoshop will take a leson from the intuitive and useful interfaces of Macromedias software.

Conclusion: For a basic editing program, its pretty good, and easy to use, but so is Jasc Paint Shop Pro, but more accurate with some features.

For professional work, MacromediaAdobe Fireworks or if you prefer Photoshop.

They offer more, are more accurate and offer professional results.

So basically it does not let me see what it is doing at the time.
