I have upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 and the user interface is excellent. The palette tabs are all organized to one side and can be hidden from view to create more workspace.The organizer bin is one great addition where you can see open pictures and quickly select to work between them. The integration of the Album with the editor is smooth and works very well on my old Pentium 1GHZ 512 MB RAM notebook. Everytime I learn new ways to approach a task. And it's amazing.I have created a PAL based Slide show on a CD-R and it works flawlessly in India.
