Lost Their Way 27 Feb 2011
By A. Roberton TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
What are Serif up to? Why can I not load and use this software without first speaking to a Serif employee???

If I had paid for this software as opposed to receiving a trial version to review, I would have been spitting mad with all the fuss. No Serif I do not want to upgrade - No Serif I do not want you to keep calling me with your latest amazing offers - and NO NO NO Serif I do not want software that cannot be used without the need to speak to someone first. Life is too short for all this.

Bottom line - if you want photo editing software, pay a little more and get Photoshops Elememts, it's brilliant. Serif, forget it.

I only wish I could give no stars.

I truly believe Serif have completely lost their way.

Total waste of time 21 July 2011
By Mellow Yellow TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I along with many other reviewers have had real problems with this software. My system is compatible and whilst the program seems to load ok it just doesn't seem to want to work.

I had high hopes for this software as I was on the lookout for a simple photo editing program. Luckily I was sent mine free of charge to review under the Amazon Vine Program but had I paid full price then I would have been furious.

My advice to others looking to purchase this software is to look elsewhere. I hate writing bad reviews but in this case it is well and truly deserved. Sorry Serif - this is not upto your usual standard.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
For the price this software is excellent and cannot really be faulted. It does everything most people could ask of it and does these things well - namely red eye reduction, noise reduction, cropping, file size reduction, teeth whitening and you can even add a tan to white, corned beef legs! The registration process is a faff and to be honest a little cheeky. One shouldn't have to telephone to register, simply typing the product key should suffice. This aside, the software is highly recommended.
