Photo Explosion Deluxe 5.0

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.

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.

It stop work want me to pay for up grade

I am missing the instruction book that should have been included in my purchase of Photo Explosion Deluxe; it wasn't in the box with the program. I have been trying for the last 15 to 20 minutes to get help through your automated service and I am getting nowhere.

I purchased it for a friend and they say very good. They had it on another computer a while back and needed it again after the older computer died. It will work on Windows 10.

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.

Slightly buggy, will shut down (not all the time) in the middle of work.Create a new photo function doesnt have a photo size, instead just pixel size.No ruler guide for easy editing.Layering is cumbersome though efficient when done.Cutting an image out based on outline is very tedious.Good product, lots of room to improve. PE has earlier versions that functioned much better

love it
