You can find out more about it by clicking the link, but I can tell you now: it looks pretty impressive. I was sent a copy to review, and I was a little worried it might go over my head. I'm not the most technical of people. I think perhaps I'm much better with a very low-tech pencil and paper!
If you do find the learning curve a little bit too steep for your liking, you'll find tutorials in the Magix online magazine as well as their You-Tube channel, so there's no need to feel like something is confusing or insurmountable. There's even a forum to ask questions (you'll discover it during the download process). As a former teacher, I really like the fact they've made allowances for different learning styles and preferences in the presentation of their information.

Because.....i buy lovely fabric and turn them into lovely things for lovely people. But, quite frankly my photos are rubbish!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is incredible - I really need some help with editing phtot's and my older children get a bit fed up me nagging them for help, so this would be brilliant. domesticgoddess76@hotmail.com Sharon
ReplyDeleteWould love this as its a great product that has thought out the consumers help area properly! We all spend hours trying to figure out software that has been written by geeks, with geek help :-) Oh and I might improve my pictures too. x Joan
ReplyDeleteI've just checked out the video and I love the erase feature and changing the backgrounds would be a great addition to my photo's.

PS I've blogged and shared the blog on FB x Joan
ReplyDeleteI keep reading help for new online craft businesses which stress how important pictures are. I would really like to put this advice to good use with this software which seems looks like it will change photos into how you would like them to look - as if by magic!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing. I would love something like this to edit the photos of my makes.....and my cat! lol! I am concentrating more on online sales this year so this sounds perfect xxx
ReplyDeleteI've always struggled to get my photos just right for my store and this little bit of kit looks like it would do the job nicely.
ReplyDeleteI Love experimenting with digital images and this software looks like a great new toy to get my teeth into x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. Why would I like it simply because my photo's look awful. I definitely need some help.

As with everyone I believe that my photos are rubbish. I am therefore currently on a learning journey with my photography and the next step is looking at how to edit photos as I have had a real play with the taking of photos! This, therefore seems rather timely - I am not very software minded so could do with something that is user friendly. Fingers crossed (although I am no more deserving than anyone else!)
ReplyDeleteWow - this is just what I need to help my pic taking - you only need look at my blog to see why!! Thanks again for the chance of entering. xx
ReplyDeleteI would so love to win this because my photos are really holding me back, I just can't get the right light and no matter how much research I do I can't seem to get it right!! I neeeeeeeed help!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the picture I am taking, it looks good. Not sure what happens after that, coz a gremlin attacks them and the majority turn out to be ones you wouldn't even hide at the back of a box. Thank goodness for digital cameras, saves all that money being wasted on developing photographs. This software would help ensure all pics were printable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea...so many of us can't begin to afford Photoshop, etc. so this would be a wonderful prize..like you, I'm no techie, but hopefully this would become second nature..
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the West Coast of Canada, and thanks for the 'universal' give-away, they are few and far between!☻
I'd love to win to improve my blog photography! :)

Just to let you know I tweeted this, wrote a blog post (which is shared on facebook - please say this counts too). I cannot do google plus as I can't figure it out :(
ReplyDeleteYes, tweets, blog posts and facebook sharing all counts as an extra entry! :-)
ReplyDeletealthough photography is not my 'craft' i am still passionate about taking photos. I used to use the kodak editing suite to edit my pictures but it doesn't exist anymore :(
ReplyDeleteI take photos of any crochet/knit/felted items i've made, plus use photos for my blog and of course any travelling that i manage to do!
Anything to help me achieve my first sale would be good :)
i have always wanted the opportunity to play around and edit my photos and make them arty, so this software would allow me to experiment!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness do I need this. Tried two others and just can't hack them far too complicated. My photos were not too bad but recently I think I must have changed some settings but they are awful :-(( not a clue what I have done.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your consideration.

I'd love to win this giveaway as I am about halfway there with photo editing, but need to find a good package to learn all about and really get good with!

That's why.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love this for her beauty blog. Then she can help me take better photos of my craft projects!

ReplyDeleteI would lovethis as i've just set up my site www.jennifernina.co.uk and am struggling to edit my not so brilliant photos to be website ready :)
ReplyDeleteWe've had some amazing holidays and have come back with masses of photos, but they do need a bit of attention before we can do anything with them. This software would be just the push I need to start sorting them out
ReplyDeleteWow, i realy like to join this give away!
ReplyDeleteAs photography seems to be a running theme in my own blog, I'd love a chance to win this prize :)
ReplyDeleteI want to turn some of my sketches and crochet into postcards and business cards. This software and the support with it (I just peeked at one of the YouTube videos) would enable me to do that. And get on with the crochet booklet I keep threatening to write!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this software to craft my graphic design skills! I don't have any software at home that I can use that's like this!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI Love that kind a handy tools thats why....

Thanks for your statement in MLM Software section. I had truly enjoyed what you had to say. These comments have really supported my zeal in writing for several of the newest topics.
ReplyDeleteGreat website, good content and excellent page ranking…what more can one ask for. Your website is the best example of how well an SEO marketing strategy works. Hats off to you! Keep up the good job. There are other sites too like Business Logo Design, Professional photo design jobs, which also have some of the coolest look and content, just like yours. Why don’t you check out your competitors?
