Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Picture It! Digital Image Pro 2003 is the grown-up version of Picture It! Photo Standard 2003. Based on the same interface and with the same core functionality, it adds many more filters for special effects, more sophisticated editing tools--including cloning--more than twice as many design templates for printed projects as well as support for PhotoShop plug-ins--editing and effects programs written to work with Adobe's professional-level photo editor.

At heart then, it's Picture It! Photo Standard 2003 with that program's bread-and-butter features such as being able to remove red-eye, adjust the brightness, contrast, sharpness, crop down to a specific area and so on. You can apply a wide selection of filters to transform your photos into realistic works of art that appear to have been created in different mediums, including pencil, charcoal and water colours and unlike many programs the results are excellent. You can quickly cut out a section of one photo and use it in another, add text, wrapping the words round objects in the photo, adding textures and so on. There are good batch processing features too, which allow you to rename a folder's worth of photos with a couple of mouse clicks as well as adjusting the balance, colour, contrast tint and size of a selection of pictures in one go.

Picture It! Digital Image Pro 2003 adds dozens more filters for special effects, finer editing tools for removing imperfections from scanned photos (including wrinkles!) extra brushes that let you distort photos for bizarre effects, paint freehand with many more brushstroke styles--there's even a brush which uses the program's library of photos as its "paint"--as well as a cloning brush that lets you paint over one part of a photo using a sample from another part of the same image. You also get effective tools for fixing photos that have got too-dark foregrounds or overly lit backgrounds. Is the support for PhotoShop plug-ins useful? It depends. They're not the sort of programs you'll have laying round the house and if you've bought them, then it's probably because you use PhotoShop itself. Certainly they're aimed at professional designers rather than home enthusiasts.

One last point. The program comes with that rarity, a proper printed manual, which not only describes how everything works but includes around 150 pages of hints and tips to help you get the best from your digital camera and scanner. --Rob Beattie

5.0 out of 5 stars Digital Imaging made easy, 5 April 2003
By J. Majury "pastelraven" (Belfast) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Program is nowhere near as complex and Adobe Photoshop 7, but don't let that fool you.
This is crammed with special features, and is quite straight forward to use, even for the absolute beginner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Picture It 2003 Digital Image Pro, 17 Dec 2002
If you already own Picture It 2002, then this new version is a huge disappointment. It doesn't upgrade 2002, it works separately, therefore some of the good features from 2002 are unavailable in the 2003 version. The resident graphics are not so good or plentiful. However, the photo editng is excellent (so is version 2002) I have yet to find anything better about it, so it really was a waste of money! Having said all that, if you haven't already got an earlier version of Picture It, you'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT A TOY, 10 Sep 2003
By A Customer
It pains me to admit but sometimes Microsoft can be brilliant and this is the most brilliant of all their products. I have tried Adobe and Paint Shp Pro, tried Micrografx and Ulead, tried them all... I think the fact that Adobe and PSP can't even be bothered to make their interface more attractive than it was 10 years ago tells you everything, though the PSP Virtual Painter plugins are marvellous. This application, however, has similarly useful effects and filters that are not gimmicky and it supports Adobe plugins. And it makes documents and presentations. And it organises albums. And it does very good photo clean ups. The only missing feature, which is also missing from both PSP and Adobe, is the very brilliant lens flair filter plugin that you got with Micrografx Picture Publisher from version 8 and I believe is now in the Corel product.
Returning to Picture it - easy to use, very attractive, clever file maniplulation, adjustable effects with great previews, makes composite images in the same brilliant way that Microsoft PhotoDraw used to (this is a much better application, although it has one less text effect - you can't easily gradiant from one colour to another). Save formats allow for professional publications. And it's quick, intuitive and vastly capable.
A couple more upgrades and they will be seriously knocking the stupidly expensive competition out of the water. They have already far surpassed all other hobby digital camera software.
p.s. I don't work for Microsoft anmd I only write reviews here when the product is really stunning.
