Publisher's Description:

Artistic Effects - Computer graphics made a quantum leap while evolving from four colors to color spaces hardly caught by human eye. And as this evolution progressed computer graphics was turning into a major trend. It is impossible to imagine a modern magazine or a web site created without computer graphics.

However, the more advanced the graphical software was getting the more was its cost, resulting in situation when an average individual or a small business becomes virtually cut off the latest graphics production technologies due to the high prices.

Looking at human creativity as an engine of modern graphical design, the situation seems unfair. There are actually many great amateur graphics artists out there who have all that it takes to create vivid computer graphics except for expensive software packages. Is there any chance for home-made computer artists to get the proper tools at a fair price?

So Close to a Wonderful Product

This a neat little program and though extremely easy to use, I found some limitations I would like to see addressed.
1. Adjustable degrees of each effect would be my major suggestion
2. Some simple control over brightness, hue, contrast would be a good addition
3. More effects would of course be nice but maybe having control over the amount effect applied or blending of 2 effects could cover this
4. Price - I know it costs money t develop software but ... the price is nearly the same as I paid for a for PSP XI and a bit more than I paid for the student version of Corel's WP suite.

In the trial version I would have been much happier if the count for uses was limited to the number pictures saved rather than viewed.

Decent photography is within the grasp of anyone with a cheap digital. To create some special pictures takes a bit of work, a lot of luck and a computer. This program produces some pretty convincing renditions of water colours etc (my favorite was the gothic setting - awesome!). Great for having some traditional art but of personal subjects (family, pets, cottage etc).

In conclusion, nice but limited selection of effects, not enough control, and a steep price for it's limited function. I will however keep my eye on this product with the hope I can justify purchasing it.
