This software graphics product is one of the best alternatives to Adobe Photoshop CS3/ CS2. It has a similar layout and design if you are familiar with photoshop.
There are many drawing features that this product has such as vector drawing, exporting images, normal shape and paintbrush tools.
The product also comes equipped with features used to enhance photos by adjusting features such as brightness, contrast, grayscale, removal of red eyes etc.
It also has some nice graphic based tools such as artistic effects / 3d effects / texture based tools.
As with other similar products it supports the use of layers in images, swatches, transparent backgrounds, picture tubes and has a nice feature that removes backgrounds from image files.
It is probably easier to use than photoshop and a great choice at a reasonable price.
