 Don't buy this if you have a Windows 2000 Operating System November 12, 2001

I bought this product based on excellent reviews I read in trade publications. Unfortunately, in a Windows 2000 or Windows NT operating environment, this program only runs when the user is logged on as Administrator. That means that, unless you are willing to give every member of your family all administrative privileges, which is dangerous, the program is useless. I called Microsoft technical support, and was told that "we have received this complaint from others, too." Their only suggestion was that I upgrade my OS to Windows XP. I am returning the product to Microsoft.
Fantastic Consumer Graphics Program December 20, 2001
18 out of 21 found this review helpful
This is a terrific program for creating greeting cards, flyers, certificates, labels, etc. Incredibly easy for even beginners to learn to use. Has a huge library of sample projects and graphics. It's silly to compare PictureIt's photo editing capabilities, which are perfectly adequate for basic, nonprofessional use, to Photoshop, which costs about ten times as much and requires substantial training and experience. Previous versions of this software could be challenging to older computers and operating systems, but runs great on a new Pentium IV using Windows XP w/ample RAM. Of the 4-5 similar programs I've tried, this is easily the best for general consumer graphics use.
Weak Editing Tools November 5, 2001

I have been using Adobe Photoshop 3.0 for about a year. However, I have been searching for a new photo editing program due to the extremely cumbersome process for saving files in the JPEG format in Adobe. I bought Picture It expecting the same quality of editing tools and an easier loading/saving interface. Unfortunately, the editing tools in Picture It don't come even close to Adobe's. I was not able to produce a number of detail corrections that I can perform with ease in Adobe's program. Thus, I will keep searching for a program that can meld ease-of-use with quality editing tools.
The one good thing about the Picture It is it comes with a 30 day money back guaranty, the one feature I will be using.
Fabulous publishing software January 22, 2002

I used to do a lot of family desktop publishing from Microsoft Publisher. I never liked that program because it was hard to use. Picture It! Publishing, on the other hand, is very easy to use -- and offers all the tools a family publishing fan wants. You can get up and running in just a few minutes, and the program is intuitive. Definitely the best such program I have used. I tested the program on Windows ME and Windows 2000 systems and it was rock solid and never crashed. (Of course, your mileage may vary.) I eventually installed it on a Win2k laptop and have been very happy.
