I'm not sure exactly what kind of features you're looking for, but I
recently downloaded the trial for Ulead PhotoImpact 8
http://www.ulead.com/. I used to use version 5 a few years back. I've
never been able to get the hang of Photoshop (nor the hang of the price
tag after the trial runs out) but I picked up on PI8's interface pretty
quickly again. I'm not a designer by any means, I do simple graphics
stuff, and some photo editing, but I think the program is pretty top
notch. You can get it for $79 if you do the web download, $89 if you
want the boxed set. Here is a link to a product comparison between PI,
PSP and Elements (which I hear is really good too)
http://www.ulead.com/pi/faq.htm. I'm sure its slightly biased to
highlight PI's strongpoints. None the less, I still like the program
and will most likely be buying it after the trial runs out, unless I
find something I like better. If you find any programs you like, please
let me/the list know :)
Also, here is a link to a review on CNET.com
http://www.cnet.com/software/0-429627-1204-20573788.html? The prodcut
got an "Editors Choice" award, not sure if that really means anything
though ;)
Good luck,
jay
