Photo Explosion Deluxe 5.0

Don't waste your money on this ten year old software. The interface is clunky, doesn't do half of what it claims it can and is barely better than free software you find online. I wish I hadn't bought it.

When Nova Development sold their excellent PhotoImpact Pro software to Corel for them to disassemble & trash, I started waiting for Nova to come up with another photo-editing program to take its place. Well, Photo Explosion Deluxe doesn't even come near to Impact Pro's quality, but it's still a great program for changing, fixing, & improving your library of pictures. It has a super-easy to use interface with a very low learning curve. You'll be surprising your friends and impressing your relatives with all the fun, cool things you can do to your photographs. It's not a feature-rich editor, but it supplies enough variety to accomplish most tasks in minimal time. I miss having a built-in ruler to help with some projects, and having some preset sizes in inches for new, blank canvases would have been nice. However, I got the program at only $20, so it's a major bargain at that price! My only worry is how long it'll be before Nova gives up on Photo Explosion and sells it out to Corel. It's hard to trust a company that does not value their customers. With all that said, I still recommend Photo Explosion Deluxe for the novice & experienced editors alike. It's a great alternative to bulky, over-blown editing software, plus it doesn't kill your savings account.

It stop work want me to pay for up grade

Not as good as previous versions, and it does hang up sometimes and stop working, while you are trying to save your work.

I have waited along time to purchase an editing program for my computer as I usually use the free sites like Google photo an Chimp to edit photos an create video's. I was super excited to recieve this based on the description however upon install I soon realized it does not allow you to "create" video's and there is definitely not thousands of editing features. It is about as basic as the free online ones and much harder to navigate. Requesting refund an will continue to search for another disk application that has at least 100 features and video creation options. Very very disappointed do not recommend.

I HAVE USED EXPLOSION FOR YEARS,Some reviews on this product almost drove me away, but decided to give it a try. Remember Amazons liberal return policy.Because of that policy it nullified the bad reviews. So far I have had no problem. A couple of times it has frozen up and had to be restarted. I can accept that so I give it a 5 star rating.

Very dissapointed in this version. I had a previous version that I LOVED but this version is much more confusing, files are hard to find and seems to have a lot less options. I wish I could just use my old version but it won't work on new computer. Frustrating!

Product is difficult to use and definitely not for beginners. I returned it.
