This GAOTD is probably the best cheaper alternative to Photoshop ever created so far, since it sports an impressive number of advanced features designed to draw pictures, edit, resize & rotate your photos, perform color correction & synthesis photos, type text on the photo, cut, copy & paste photos, sharpen/blur photos, remove red-eye & dust etc... and much more.

It works great on Net-books and laptops or on virtual machines (vmware, virtual box, virtual pc etc.) since it uses a very low RAM & CPU usage.

The bottom line is that similar advanced features can only be found in professional and damn expensive apps such as Photoshop!!

Even the FREE version outclasses many similar shareware products out there. Portable version also available.

Highly recommended.

Hi there,

I bought this program a couple of months ago and I'm using it in a professional way. It's still a young software but some features are really nice like the awesome UI (User Interface) that you can change a lot. I made two HD videos on Youtube about it :

Here are the link of my tutorials/reveiws :

Installed and registered on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system without problems. It installs a 64bit software in my case.

A Korean company, founded in 2009, with an address and focusing on graphics software. At least not a company "we make everything, which we can sell".

A real Swiss army knife of photo manipulation and creation of raster graphics (remember CorelDraw?). Many features included layers, styles and a quick image viewer.

Despite of the capabilities, a small and lightweight program, which occupies about 150 megs of my memory.

If I would test all the features, I would post my report next week.

The program has a limited set of build in filters, but, what a pity!, you cannot add additional Photoshop filters.

Make sure to visit the "design center"! Good links for the one, looking for additional tools. That's good.

Obviously a software, which has use to everybody. The learning curve is a little bit steep, but when you are familiar with layers, styles and text manipulation, you can master this excellent piece of software in short time.

Will stay on my machine...
