- Enhance photos by converting your color originals to black-and-whites, adding depth with drop shadows, bevels, and glows, converting them to sepia tone, applying tint filters that simulate colored filters on a camera, or using realistic paintbrush effects to simulate oils, watercolors, charcoals, pastels, and different canvas textures.

- Add text and graphics such as titles and labels, with geometric shapes, symbols, stamps, and thought bubbles from the built-in library, or add decorative edges.
- Get high quality with camera raw data files and 16-bit support for smoother, more accurate color and overall great results.

- View your photos in one central place, whether they're stored on your hard drive or on CD, automatically shown in the order they were taken.
- View using the entire screen as you flip through your photos. Easily pick your favorites, rotate, rate, and mark for printing.
- Make compelling slide shows that wow your friends with transitions, captions, music, and narration.
