Domain Name Com's - Software : Digital Image Suite 9

- Disappointing at best
Pros: Easy, attractive interface. Good integration.
Cons: Too easy to modify original photo. Too underpowered. Keyword handling has poor functionality. Resizing difficult. Red eye reduction poor.

Now for the details:
This product seriously underperforms compared to Adobe's products. The Adobe Album and Elements combination is MUCH more powerful. Digital Image Suite (DIS) doesn't even create web photo galleries. The keyword function is crazy... it's all one level, so once you add any number of keywords, you have to scroll through long lists (Album has multi-level keyword handling, but only to three levels). With Album, you double-click to edit simple things, such as red-eye reduction and cropping, or right-click for more complicated tasks. With DIS, any editing requires opening Digital Image Pro, which can be a resource drain for the average computer. Additionally, you have to make a copy of a photo to edit a copy... Adobe creates a copy automatically, which prevents you from accidentally editing your original photo. And the red-eye wizard in Album is better... eyes look more natural (note: neither program gets rid of pet "red-eyes", since they're not really red).

And something that I can't believe they did: you can't resize the image by pixels. So if I want to resize my 2492x1924 image to 640x480 image to email, I have to guess what printed size that would be at a certain resolution. With Adobe Photoelements, you can specify size in pixels or inches.. MUCH more useful.

I got this software since I thought Microsoft would put out a competitive product, but I was very disappointed. This product doesn't have a single feature that is better than Adobe Album/Photoshop elements, and most features aren't as good, if they are available at all. I wish I could return it...

- Somehow Not That Much Better Than PhotoDraw
I was using PhotoDraw (Microsoft's predecessor to Picture It!) for basic photo editing since 1999. I picked up this new product primarily because of the library program. The library component works nicely, pretty much as advertised, but it's still pretty basic and not worth [the money]on its own. So I expected the photo editing software to be a marked improvement over PhotoDraw. It's not.
There are some improvements, particularly giving the user more control over resolution, vastly improved printing options, and automatic white balancing. However, some PhotoDraw features are missing ("arrange" function is sorely missed) or hard to use (filling a specific area with an effect or color is nearly impossible).
So while this program has been stable and would likely suit someone looking for his first photo editing program, it's no world-beater and would be a much more convincing value if priced [lower].

- Awesome Program - Well Thought-Out
This program is great, the library tools are incredible and very easy to use. The image editor is very good also. Highly recommend this product, it is very easy to use...I can get rid of photoshop finally.

- This program rocks!
If you are a novice photographer or just need to quickly touch up a photo, this is the product for you. I have tried to use Photoshop and even Paint Shop Pro and they were overkill for what I need to do. The autocorrect feature works better than any other package I have used.

- Surprisingly Powerful Tools
I have always heard that Adobe is the industry standard so I was a bit hesitant to purchase this product. After using it for a couple of weeks, I am really impressed. I have found that the tools are actually better than the ones I have found in Adobe's Elements product and they are far quicker to use. I am particularly impressed by all of the advanced tools like color channel level adjustment, the blending brush, the airbrush, and the smart erase features. The product is intuitive as well and makes it easy to find photos and also archive them. This will replace all of my other applications as my primary image editor.
