You can hide the various palettes and add more icons to simplify matters in PhotoImpact 10, as well as use the various Ulead programs as needed, but why should you have to do this when all that is required is some deep thinking by Ulead about seamless program integration and better user interface design? But one of the major differences between Photoshop Elements 3.0 and the Ulead offering is that PhotoImpact 10's wonderfulness is buried behind a needlessly complex interface and bound up in several different Ulead programs. So which one gets the nod?īoth of these are great products.
(Yet one more good reason to switch to a Mac.) Ulead offers a free trial download of PhotoImpact 10, and Adobe also offers a free download of Photoshop Elements (V2.0, at the time of this writing.) You might say they both want your business.
The other product is Adobe's PhotoShop Elements 3.0 that runs on both Windows and MacOS X, and has an MSRP of $89.99 for Macintosh and $99 for Windows. One is ULead's PhotoImpact 10 for MS Windows that has an MSRP of $89.99. We'll have a look at two products in this Ultimate Digital Photography review. You've got a great camera, you've got a great photo-printer, and you've got a great monitor, so now all that's left to give you a perfect photo finish is some great photo editing software.
