Are you scanning old family photographs and trying to restore
or enhance them? Have you found your present Windows graphics-editing program
to be a bit "weak"? If so, you might want to try out the free version
of Ulead Photo Explorer 6.0. It has an excellent reputation.
Ulead Photo Explorer does cropping, color balancing, BMP-to-JPEG
conversions and a lot more. In fact, its capability to convert from one format
to another is one of its most popular features. There is a commercial version
of Ulead Photo Explorer, available online for $24.95 or in a box for $29.95.
However, the free version has most of the capability of the commercial version.
The free version does not support GIF files or LZW-compressed
TIFF files. Also, there is no tech support available for the free version. Ulead
hopes that your experience with the free version will motivate you to purchase
the commercial product.
