New: PhotoImpact 8 is now avilable.

PhotoImpact has always been an exceptional value for the home and business user looking for an all-in-one graphics solution. With PhotoImpact 6, they've extended the toolset to a complete Web and Graphics Studio for imaging enthusiasts of all levels.

Few image editors allow the complete novice to quickly achieve polished-looking results as well as PhotoImpact does. Even fewer provide such a complete set of tools and features at a price below $100. PhotoImpact offers a suite of tools for Web graphics creation, image editing, photo correction and enhancement, plus plenty of extras for special effects and creative exploration. It comes complete with a GIF animator, Web component designer, image slicer and optimizer, photo album database, screen capture tool, JavaScript rollover assistant, automation and batch conversion features, complete Web page creation, Browser preview, and HTML export.

A big part of PhotoImpact's appeal is the vast number of presets and templates that allow the user to begin creating customized designs with little knowledge of complicated techniques. The Easy Palette is the heart of PhotoImpact and it includes hundreds (if not thousands) of predefined drag-and-drop effects, styles, objects, textures, and shapes. Any of the presets can be customized, refined, and saved for future use in the Easy Palette.

If you're thinking that PhotoImpact is just for Web graphics, think again. PhotoImpact has plenty of graphic tools for photo retouching, correction, drawing, painting, special effects, and creative expression. It also includes the PhotoImpact Album for complete image management and cataloging. In fact, the more I play with PhotoImpact, the more blown away I am by all that it offers. It was difficult to choose just a few items to show you, so there's links to lots of screen shots and examples of notable features on the following pages.
