I had trouble installing this on my Netbook running Windows 7. Waiting for Photo Album 8.
It's not photoshop but its very good for the price. I purchased mine from amazon.com. It arrived quicly and performed well. If you don't need the power of photoshop you should be verryhappy with this product.
If you think your interest in taking pictures may increase. it allows you to present your pictures in many ways including calendars, scrapbooks, even as slideshows; however, as others have pointed out, the price is close enough to a complete editing suite to make this a questionable value.
After all, this program was not designed as a full-fledged editing suite, but rather as a way to organize your pictures tastefully and give you a lot of options for presenting those photos. You will find enough editing functions to correct the most common faults, but don't expect to be able to do a slew of pixel-level work.
Photo Album 7 is a fine program if all you want to do is rudimentary photo touchups before storing your files away. For a lot of casual photographers this might very well be the ideal program.
As my title says. your satisfaction with this package depends on what you want to do with it.
If it fills the bill for you then it is a good investment. then consider something a bit more comprehensive.
Without getting into a lot of technical details, Photo Album 7 from Corel is a bit bloated and not so easy to use. They try, but it's just not Corel's niche. Frankly, there are freeware programs that are as good, or better.
The online backup storage service is just a link to a company that will SELL you space to back up your photos. This product bills itself as a "complete Digital Photo Suite". In fact, it links you to a company that has already gone out of business, and suggests that you give more money to someone else who may or may not go out of business. It is far from complete. You can't crop free-form, and you can't copy and paste parts of photos onto other photos. You can store photos online for free. In fact, you can do all of the things that this software will do, for free.
