CONS:

* Some editing options/tools seem to be non-functional and/or too limited in nature, or ineffective.

* Enhance-image option limited in scope and occurs automatically, with very limited user-control options.

* Some editing tools do not have undo/redo feature.

* Help Menu feature is non-functional (clicking on this option is useless, nothing comes up).

* image output formats are limited to those noted above.

* though program does provide users with many features, the $14.95 price is steep compared with comparable, equally-capable freeware programs that offer similar features and do much much more.

* Today's offer is a special "GOTD edition," meaning that it's probably a watered-down version of its regular program - which is contrary to the intent of GOTD's usual giveaway offers. Developer should rethink its marketing strategy here.

Summary

Although the program offers users many nice features, some of its functions are ineffective and its results are only average compared with comparable freeware options. For this reason, I would not recommend today's Pixio SE program - but I do thank you (GOTD & Pixio, for this generous opportunity.)

Freeware Options: - Photoscape, GIMP, Paint.net, Photobie, Picasa, IrfanView, etc.

The Version 3.5.6 given away in January was wonderful, worked and had many effects. This is version 1.1.0 and after installing, every time I try to apply an effect I get "Run Time Error O" and the program exits.

This version today is inferior in the number of effects you can apply to a photo from the previous version. Cropping seems to be the only new addition. However, since none of the effects can be applied until the runtime error is resolved, it is not ready yet for Prime Time. Using XP PRO S/P3. Uninstalled.

Downloaded ok on XP SP3, just make sure that you don't discard the install pack or you will get an error message looking for it. It's kool except every time I start it up, windows has to configure it, like it is re-installing it every time. What gives with that? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks! GOTD!

I tried this on some random jpg's and it worked like a charm, but when I tried to apply the effects to some recent photo (jpg's) that I have taken with my Canon Rebel all I get are runtime errors and the program closes down. Hopefully the developer can get this worked out - I have the original Pixo and it works great on all my photos.

No.13

GAOD Edition of Pixo SE is EXACTLY the same as the regular one. All we have done is removed the registration screen to make it easier to use and avoid unnecessary registration problems.
