Product reviews...
For the higher-end graphic users, this will be a bit underpowered... stick with Illustrator or Photoshop. But for the novie or home-user, this package will be a godsend!
With all the powerful tools you'd expect to find in a package 3-4 times this price, and all easily driven in one of three ways.
• For those who still prefer textmenus, the whole package can be driven from that one toolbar.
• For those who are more used to an icon-based GUI, there are icon toolbars also present, and clearly understood.
• For those used to WindowsXP, there is a set of compacting navpanels down the left side, all too familiar from XP, giving easily-understood options.
It's all point-n-click no matter how you look at it! So easy to understand, I almost feel like using it more than Photoshop, still my pride and joy. :)
One feature that really did impress me was the Photo Stamps - very cool, fully customisable, and gives some brilliant options for the creative mind. Fully worth the explore if nothing else.
Overall, very impressive. Great for beginners, or those who do a lot of Digital Camera work, for it's batchwork features. You can process bulk files in a session, saving you a lot of effort and time-wasting. No point in sitting there load-click-set-process-save-start_again looping.
Random listing from 'Software'...
The 2003 Colour Aerial-photos module is an optional add-in module for TUMONZ that provides you with the set of orthographically corrected aerial photographs that where flown in February 2003.
The module requires that you have already installed TUMONZ. You can copy the aerial photos (from the CD's they are supplied on) to your hard-disk or run them from your CD drive.
