This is a very good program in the hands of a photography expert and software guru who has the resources of a company behind him. For the average consumer? I don't think so. For example, try to print a picture from your digital camera. The documentation is inpenetrable and the messages from the program are undocumented and useless. If you want telephone help with this $299 program, that will be another $299 thank you. There is no e-mail support of which I am aware.If you need the ultimate photographic software and you don't care how many dollars you spend or how much time you spend trying to figure out the documention, this is a good program for you.
