If a serious hobby photographer this is for you

Advantages: loads of features,professional feel
Disadvantages: not for the casual user or the professional, suits the serious hobbiest

...and only recently sold to Corel and with their large buget and expanding outlook I was expecting big things from PPXI over previous versions and there are some good ones but on the whole I actually prefer version 7 for ease of use . It seems to me Corel have realised that 'photoshop will always be the proffesional choce so they have(perhaps rightly) adjusted PP to suit the private user. Their 'one stop photo fixes' and auto correction features are ...
...card standards and I think Corel have made the right decision to target it at private users,but make no mistake we are talking serious private users here,you cant take this out of the box and quickly transform your photos into master pieces,it takes time to master espically the use of layers which is the key feature in both this and Phototshop. If you want to just crop out the mother in law and make a dull day look sunny then go for a cheaper package ...

Review of Print House Magic 3.0 Complete package

Graphically proven to be more than useful

Advantages: Flexible and powerful
Disadvantages: Bit complicated

The CorelDraw package comes complete with OCR and scanning facilities and both are pretty effective, although the OCR can be a bit flakey and fiddly at times. You might want to use something like Omnipage if you’ve got the need for a lot of this stuff, but as add ...

The scanned image also tends to be a little on the dark side, so you normally ...
