My Review

I love this program !  Being an Art Major, it really appeals to me as at times I don’t have time to spend on painting a real painting. I can see many uses for this program, even for those doing desktop publishing and those who might want to make their own cards, scrapbooking and other projects. It works well for a blogger/reviewer also. You will love this program and If you have photoshop it works as a plugin also.  This is one awesome program !
