If only it worked with Vista!, 27 Jun 2008
This really was a brilliant program, and I have many enhanced pictures on disk to prove it. Sadly, having now progressed(?) to Vista I am unable to use it, and the company has disappeared so no fixes. A sad loss!

Oil paintings fron digital photo's, 28 Jun 2005
Having read the review in "digital photo art" which ran to three pages, where they thourghly recommended this product, I was not disappointed when the product arrived and I'd installed it. Very clever piece of software allows you to take a digital image and then transform it into a watrecolour, oil painting or a variety of other styles. Take a little time to get used to this and it will be very rewarding.
Very good, glad I bought it, I can thourghly recommend.

With over 25,00images packed in to this program, designed to get you top marks in your coursework. It coulsn't be easier to use, just a click of the mouse brings graphics in to your work. Age 14 and above. Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP.

Not as good as I hoped unfortunately...., 02 Feb 2007
I've downloaded lots of free fonts in the past, and hoped this would boost my collection, but it was fairly disappointing. It's more like clipart than the downloadable fonts I've used, and although there are a lot of great headlines, you'd be hard pressed to use more than one or two ever, as they are very specfic. Also, this software has an American lifestyle bias, and this limits it's British usefulness.

Better than some I've tried, 28 Feb 2005
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of useable fonts available in this collection. I have purchased a couple of font collections in the past, and have been disappointed by the number of trashy fonts that look like they were designed by a suicidal maniac on drugs. These are better!

Choose from an enormous variety of high-quality images, paintings from the masters, professional photos, fonts and scalable clip art. Ideal for your entire project needs whether it's greeting cards, presentations or calendars! Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP.

Decent collection for web design, but too bothersome to use., 27 May 2007
GSP PhotoArt comes on 3 CDs. Upon installation all 50,000 photos are left behind on the CDs with only thumbnail versions being loaded onto your PC. A bespoke application is used to search through the thumbnails and preview the photos.

My screen is a 21" monitor at 1680x1050 resolution and the thumbnails are quite small and not very good at helping me to decide if a photo is suitable. The thumbnails are not re-sizable: one size fits all. Like it or lump it.

So, click on the thumbnail to see the full photo and you're prompted to insert the right CD so that the photo can be viewed. Wait for CD to spin up and the photo appears. You could see this as a neat, helpful request. Or, when searching for a particular sort of photo, can see this as a nagging "change to this CD, no change to that CD, no put the original CD in now" and so on. The collections are spread seemingly randomly across several CDs too - so concentrating just on one category (eg "People") doesn't keep the application from asking you to insert different CDs. Quite annoying.

I'd ignore the superlatives ("Stunning collection") in the description if I were you. Photo quality is good, but image size is a bit pants with most photos being quite small (around 300x200 pixels). Not sure how the package blurb "select your own print resolution for high quality print results" could be substantiated by a 300x200 image. It's quite amazing how one still cannot find suitable photos in 50,000 images, though.

The application comes with some basic preparation tools (crop, resize, flip etc) which allow you to prepare the image before you drag and drop it into your application (eg word processor).

It's a good collection of photos with some semi-helpful manipulation tools but is technically implemented quite badly and not designed for any semi-professional use (eg your small-business's website). You get what you pay for. Give it to your kid for his birthday.


Be careful, 20 Mar 2007
This product does have 50,000 photos but they are small, if you export them to any size over 2 inches wide then they are terribly distorted. If that doesn't matter to you then this product is fine, if it does matter (and it does to me) then maybe you should look elsewhere.

Play Better Golf -- I did!, 10 Nov 2001
The instructions are very clear and concise. It is easy to go back replay in detail the finer points of the game . (and some not so fine). As with all things associated with golf instruction , I feel that a little but often is the key.

I have had this CD over three years, and out of desperation more than anything else I replayed it for advice on how to cure my ever increasing 'slices'. I found the remedy from the disc, but like anything to do with golf ,you have to keep on top of it.
Although he does not know it yet, I am purchasing another CD for my American Son - in - Law. I am sure he will enjoy and use it as much as mysellf and my Wife.
