Aldus Photostyler SE. I received it six months ago, with a scanner I bought.
I sent it back. It is a mostly crippled version of their expen$ive release.
Most annoyingly, all of the menu options are still there, and the only result
of selecting them is a nag screen that says, "This option only available on the
'Retail' release." RETAIL? What the hell did I buy? I ended up spending 30
minutes walking through the menu options, finding that I was a second-class (read
that "Non-Retail") customer who didn't deserve the any of the 'real' features.
I ended up testing half a dozen shareware products, and using one called PhotoShop.
For the price of Aldus' 'fake' version, you get a boatload of serious features. The
program is also quite robust; hasn't bombed on me once! I also tested one called
PaintMan. It, too was very good.
ALDUS PHOTOSTYLER SE : DO NOT BUY IT.
