MY COMPUTER NEW LOVER! PICTURE IT! PHOTO & PRINT STUDIO v 2002 upgrade has been a success as part of my desktop publishing.
I have always been a keen Microsoft lover and found in most cases that their products work for me, that is why I choose to upgrade Picture it Photo & Print Studio. 2002.
What can you do with it?
This software has many features. Some of them are::)
(1) Tools for publishing projects such as greeting cards, invitations, calendars, newsletters, party sets, personal web pages and multimedia greetings, business cards, tags, gift boxes, party hats, activity books, and many more.
(2) It has online feature, this I find is very useful, you can get quick links to MSN Photos to create your very own and order. You can do mugs, aprons, tote bags, puzzles,
photo prints, enlargements, mouse pads, sweatshirts, t-shirts, baby things and so on.
(3) There are 175.000 images, 13,000 project templates. You also get very helpful step-by-step video clips. Ok! So you wanna know if this lover is compatible! :)
Well for him to love you will have to meet certain requirements,
These are:
~~~You must have a multimedia pc with Pentium 166 Mhs or higher
~~~You must be operating windows 98 or higher
You must have at least 64 MB of ram (the instruction from which I am taking this from states 32 Mb Minimum)
~~~390 Mb of hard disk space (710 Mb recommended)
~~~You must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 Brower.
~~~The requirement guidelines also points out that an additional 50 Mb of hard space may be required for Internet Explorer upgrade. Installing Picture it will not replace your primary Brower.
~~~You must have 1 MB of video ram
~~~Super VVGA monitor (800x600) 16-bit colour or better
~~~Quad speed CD ROM drive or higher
~~~Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device.
~~~To benefit fromm the online features you will need 28.8 baud or faster and internet assess.
~~~Assess to internet
~~~This software is compatible with most scanners, printers, digitals camera storage devises and more file formats.
Installing. :)
You need to close down any programmes you are using including any antiviral software.
Four disks are labelled very clearly and consist of One Set-Up and Art. Two through Four consist of Designs and art. Only the set-up disk is required
Insert your disk one into its drive and follow the instructions. The instructions are clear to follow.
As I had a previous Picture it 2000, the set up deleted this and installation was simple and took 15 minutes, this included registration on line. Start up! :)
When using this lover, he welcomes you, very inviting! He shows his welcome screen as all lovers do, so you at his mercy! Heh heh!
You can explore the Welcome screen and view the welcome movie or you can get started.
The procedure is quite simple to use, you just follow on screen help should there be difficulties.
You can pick a design open, edit, motivates to get creative ideas.
The workspace is an excellent tool to work with; you have choices of options lists, tray, picture pane, stack, pan and zoom tool.
Another great feature this lover has, it is the ability to quick fix your photographs and you can add effects, illusions, touch up pictures, correct dust, blemishes, lines, and scratches and even fix red eyes!
It is amazing when you do your project of a personal nature, the recipient’s face lights up with pride.
This makes you feel good; the joy of knowing that it came straight from the heart. As mentioned above there are so many things this lover can do, ENT it nice! He would not let you down.
Price: :(
I was fortunate to have a £10 gift voucher; I used this to purchase my lover at johnlewis.com for £29.95. The retail price is £39.95.
Later whilst browsing through the net, I came across homesoftwareworld.com. I was surprised how much cheaper they were.
At http://www.homesoftwareworld.co.uk the joining price is £16.99, I feel this offer very good value for money. Their release price is £49.99, you save £33.00. To benefit you will need to choose two other software of your choice and register. Personal view :) :) :)
I found out how easy this software can create personalised projects, using various photos are arts of your choice and it gets better each time. Unlike the previous one, this new lover has more to offer!
On the whole I am pleased with this software, it is simple to use, you can add picture, touch up, quick fix it, crop it, use effects and illusions, correct common problems like a scratch from the photo.
The ability to be able to add sound and animation is quite an art, and of course, you can create and publish your web page. These are just a few to mention.
Go on try this new lover! Yeppy man! Meh computer does love her new lover!

not a great fan of microsoft, I think they do good stuff, but have too much dominance in the market, using bad tactics to stay on top!
