Carole, I just answered my own question when I looked up PhotoImpact-XL. It definitely looks like an interesting program. How do you rate it and what do you have to compare it to? Is it worth the money? I have tried other photo software but I prefer the features of ACDSee. (I'm sure a familiarity has a lot to do with my choice.) I use ArcSoft Photo Impressions 4 for further editing. I would like to upgrade my ACDSee but am checking out other programs first. Thanks for any help you can give me. It is nice to get firsthand user info.
