digital scrapbookers!"

NEW! Add Text
with Ease
Add text to your photos exactly the way you
want. Use the drawing tools to create one-of-a-kind text paths that follow
elements in your layout, like the hem of a dress or the flow of a river.
Select a preset text path to complete your project even faster. Choose from
one of a number of interesting designs, including the new Spiral, Bracket,
Curlicue, Flower, Star, Heart or Leaf paths.
You can even wrap your words inside one of over 400 available shapes or
create your own. Add large journaling blocks into these shapes with ease by
typing directly inside the shape or pasting your text in from word
processing programs like Microsoft Word®.
"“The new photo editor allows you to make
your own shape or path and apply your text/journaling to that. The best
thing is that it's so easy to do!!"
- Petra Prijs, Digiscrapper, IJsselstein, the
Netherlands

"I tried it out and was hooked instantly-
able to make my first page in just one day after reading a couple tutorials"
- Liz White, Digital Scrapbooker, Texas, USA
Stylize and Adjust Photos
Correct your photos with powerful and fast
fix tools including Red Eye, Dodge, Burn, Sharpen, and Smudge. Try the
Auto-adjustments feature for one-click Auto Color Balance, Auto Levels, Auto
Sharpen, or Auto Contrast. Use Auto Fix to make all the necessary
adjustments for you at once, or take full control of each adjustment using
sliders.
Easily add an artistic touch to your photos. Try a vignette to create
polished portrait-style photos for your family tree. Blur your images, make
colors more vivid, and apply various filters for dramatic effect. You’ll see
up to 8 different previews to help you select the very best look.
"I really like that the shadows go on a
separate layer which allows wonderful manipulation with the smudge tool and
through the use of masks. This allows for a maximum of realism on the
finished page, even for a beginner to intermediate user."
- LaWanna Desjardin, Digital Designer, USA
NEW! Apply
effects with the peace of mind of knowing that your original image stays
intact. With Dynamic Adjustments, you have the freedom to experiment.
Quickly modify existing effects, switch their order for a different result,
or delete them at any time. It's creativity with the ultimate control.
