You don't live in a still world. Why do your digital pictures have to be still? Effortlessly turn your still digital pictures into amazing standalone moving works of art, instant movie screensavers, emails, website wonders and more with DAK's new Water Illusion Studio.
Make your pictures
Full-Screen, Small or anywhere in-between
Be the star in your own 21st century snow globe that you can instantly email to friends and family. And all they have to do is click to enjoy it. No shaking needed. Kids, grandkids, friends and family will all be thrilled.

Think of all your vacations that you can bring back to life. Check out the rolling ocean. Oh that beach looks great. Fish in a flowing river. Water-ski across that living lake. How about a trip to the zoo? Your kids will love the polar bears as the water laps around them. The Hippo sure causes a surge in the water. And look at the ripples the flamingos are causing. Bring your waterslide pictures to life. Bring backyard pool pictures to surging life too. It's so easy to do, you'll be creating your wonders in just minutes.

Does This Look Real, Or What?
This was a pretty, but still picture. All I did was paint over it and let the program do its thing. Less than 2 minutes and you'll have exciting living memories. Let's get our toes wet. You can do this. It's so easy. The program does all the work.
It's Really Just Like Paint By Numbers.
But Easier.
Here you can see what I did. I just took the plain old digital picture and painted over the water. Here's a tip. I painted beyond the water so it would move up the beach. Isn't this an amazing animation? And it's just 2 minutes to do.
Just load your plain old ordinary standard same as you always shoot digital picture into the program. You can just drag them in. Then the fun begins.
Choose one of the presets like Ocean, waterfall or lake and simply paint over the part of the picture you want to animate. There's nothing special you need to do. Just paint. Don't worry about getting to the edges. No hard, exacting or tedious work for you to do. Just paint near the edge of the water or any part you want to animate. Just click Preview and you'll see your creation come to life. It's really just the easy.

Want to get fancy? No problem. You can use up to 6 different effects in each picture. You probably never will, but say you have a waterfall, falling into a river which then flows into a lake. You'd paint each general area with its own color of paint. (Each of the 6 colors represents one of the preset animations. Then say you want the trees to sway too, you can paint them. That's 4 effects. You have two more, but I've never used more than 3-4 with all the illusions I've created. But just click the button for the effect you want and you're all set.
Snow Globes are great. But here's a 21st century version. Is this a great card to send to family and friends? And they don't have to shake it. :) It looks so good next to the still picture. Wow, they will love it.

Oh, and make a mistake? No problem. There's not much you can do wrong. But, there's undo. Plus look at this. When you click your Left Mouse Button, you are painting in an effect. When you click your Right Mouse Button, then you are erasing any effects that are under your mouse brush. Is that easy or what?

Rain And Snow Too. You can add rain or snow by clicking a button and sliding a slider. Once you've decided you do want rain or snow, just slide the sliders to decide how heavy you want it to rain or snow and how big the raindrops or snowflakes will be. Of course you see it live as you choose the amounts. Three's nothing to guess at because you are actually seeing rain or snow more or less, bigger or smaller as you slide the sliders. So, it will look great.

Lots Of Animals
Any Size Any Speed You Like.
You can insert these or any animated images you get from the Internet. You control their size and animation speed. Plus you control where they go and how fast they get there and more.
Want to add some animals to your illusions? Some moving flowers or plants? How about some lightening? No problem.

I've included animated butterflies, birds, deer and more. Just add them in. The Illusion program gives you the power to add lots of what are called animated .gifs.

Animated gifs are the industry standard for animations. You see them all over the web. You don't have to do anything but put them in your pictures.

I've included a bunch like you see to the right. But you can get thousands more by searching on the Internet. Just search for animated gif and maybe add the name of animal you want and you'll find tens and tens of thousands to choose from. Many are free.

Just right click on the picture and choose Save picture as and add it to your picture. It's just that fast and easy.

And, check out what you can have your animations do. First, do you want the animation to stay in one place, or move across the screen. How fast do you want them to move? What type of movement do you want? Random, programmed? Where do you want them to start? Where do you want them to end? You have control of each animation.

How big or small do you want each animation to be? Do you want them to stay on screen or fade out? When? How fast do you want the action of the animation (like the flapping of the butterfly's wing) itself to be?

You can just put them in, or you can control all the actions fast and easy. Everything you could possible want to control is available with simple sliders and buttons.

 
You can really see the waterfall action. It's so easy. Just paint over where you want the waterfall to show motion. It's so fast and easy. And oh, what a great memory screensaver or email to a friend.

It's hard to see in my small examples. Full-size it's amazing. But check out the rippling lake, the trees are swaying in the breeze and there are crows flying above. It's so easy to do.








It's hard to see in my tiny picture. But I have lightening exploding in the clouds and the ocean surging below. Not a good time to go sailing.















 
 
It's So Easy To Do.
You don't need to be an artist. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. Here's all you do. Load the picture in the Illusion Studio. Then, wherever you want the illusions to be, just paint over that section using the brush. You don't need to be exact. Just paint close to the edge of the water as you see above.

Above, I used 2 different water illusions. Red is for the waterfall and blue is for the pond. To the right you see all the slider controls. But don't worry, mostly you'll use the presets. See how they pop out to the lower right? (In my picture below) Just choose which preset you want to use.

But, what are all those sliders? OK let's say that you want the river to run faster or the waterfall to be more powerful? No problem. Slide the Speed Slider to make the water move faster.

Slide up the Amplitude Slider to increase the size of waves in the ocean or ripples in a lake. Once you start sliding sliders you'll see it all right in front of you. It's so easy to do that you'll be up and running in about 5 minutes.

Plus there's more. You can change the direction of the water. You can have the water run to the left, to the right, or even up if you like. But mostly, just use the presets.

Preview Is great so you'll see what you're doing. You have two types of preview. As you are painting the whole work area can be a preview so you see the effects of your painting, even as you paint. You'll never be in the dark. You'll see it all as you do it.

Otherwise you can have just the color of your paint show as you paint and then just click the Preview button at the upper right of the main screen to see an instant full-size preview.

And frankly, that's all you really to know to add these great illusions to all your still pictures.
OK You're Finished.
Let's Create Your Masterpiece
After you paint in your illusion, then just decide what you want your final illusion to be. Here are your choices.
Make A Screensaver - All Windows computers use screensavers. All you need to do is click the Build Screensaver Button and you'll get an icon on your desktop that you can click to make it your screensaver. Nothing special you need to do. Of course your screensaver can include your picture plus any of the sounds or animated images that you've chosen to put in your illusion image.

Plus there's more. You can add background music. So choose your favorite tunes and add them to the screensaver too. Plus there's still more. There's an optional clock for the screensaver too. So if you check the box, you'll see a clock showing you the time whenever your screensaver is active.

Email your screensaver to friends and family. They'll love it too. Just send it to them in an email. Then they click on it just like you do. It's a great gift.

Build A Standalone EXE Program - This is great. You can make any size illusion that you like. Then use the Build Standalone EXE and you'll create a small portable icon that you'll see on your desktop. Whenever you click it, it pops into a full-size (whatever you made it) standalone program. Nothing to install or do. Just click it and you're animated illusion will appear. If it's a small 2" picture that's great. If it's a full screen picture that's great. Whatever size you create is what you'll see when you click the icon.

Email it to your friends and family. It's a great Christmas or holiday card. It's your favorite pictures and subjects instantly alive on their desktop. Then need to do nothing but click on it. Nothing they have to load or do. It's all totally automatic.

Build Video - Want to put your illusion Masterpiece on Youtube or a DVD? No problem. Just create a 10 second video output and upload it or do anything you like with your video. You get a standard AVI Video that plays anywhere or use any of more than a dozen industry compression codecs. If you are building other videos you'll use these to match what you are doing with your other videos. Videos are really to large to email, so to share with friends and family, use one of the other formats.

Build Animated Gifs. If you are on Facebook or you have a website, the Illusion Studio will build the standard .GIF animated images for you. Nothing to do. Just click the button and you'll have an animated .GIF that you can put up any time. They look great. and can be put just about anywhere. GIF is the industry standard for the internet.

You can make any or all of the above formats from your illusions. It's fast. It's easy and you'll be an expert in minutes.
Look what you get. Just paint over the waterfall and the lake and you get an instant living memory screensaver or standalone living picture to email to friends and family.

 
 
Not Just Water.
You can animate lots of your pictures. Of course the snow glob is a natural. Just add snow. You'll be amazed how dramatic the effect is and how much more exciting even your most stodgy old digital pictures will be from now on. But you can make trees sway, you can make clouds ungulate as they move across the sky. As a diver, I've made the fins on Lion Fish move. I've made jellyfish come to life and I've made turtles wink at me. Very cool

Beautiful Reflective Art Wonders Too.
No water needed. Create instant great reflective art. Just paint below the rose and this is what you get.
Oh, and this is way cool. There's a special reflective button you're going to love. All you do is paint in the area under an object in your picture. It will instantly look like it's reflecting in a dark lake. It's beautiful. You can do a rose, someone's head, or even a company logo. The effect is awesome. And honest, all you do is draw in the area under what you want to reflect. It's just that easy.
(picture of paint drawing.

Sound Effects & Background Music Too.
You can choose from included sound effects or add your own. Most of the time I just like to animate the pictures. But it's super restful and even more lifelike if you add some of the amazing included sound effects.
Choose from
Big Waterfall
Bird 1
Bird 2
Bird 3
Cricket
Default water
Frog
Sea wav
Small waterfall
Or add your own sound effects. If you have DAK's Wav Editor, you already have over 100 PRO sound effects to add to your digital picture wonders. Just choose which you want, how often and how long you want them to play. You are in total control. Plus you have an entirely separate interface to play background music too.

Beautiful background music. Well, it's your music and you must think it's beautiful or you wouldn't have it in your collection. You can load any .mp3 file and your standalone or screensaver will continuously play it forever. You can control it in the screensaver to mute the sound if you like. So, you really are in complete control of what you see, what moves and what doesn't, and what you'll separately for sound effects and music. Pretty neat.

Is It Real Or Is It An Illusion?
The True Story Of Drew's Date Night.
Here's our table where we had dinner. See below for the, Is it real or an illusion poll.
My wife and I work pretty much day and night. But we like to get out to dinner and then come home and go back to work in the evening. One of our favorite places is a restaurant on the water called Moon Shadows. Aside from the great food, you are literally sitting over the water and for those of you who don't know me, I'm an avid rabid diver, I love being on the beach and frankly I love being anywhere I can get wet.

Anyway, for the past few months, I've been working on this illusion studio review. I really do love it. I've been emailing my kids and their spouses all sorts of my creations. From our family trip Maui to my grandson's frequent trips to the LA zoo, to the kids swimming in our pool, I've got lots to work with. Anyway, as we were sitting at dinner, I commented to my wife that I didn’t think that the ocean looked as real as my Illusion Studio Wonders.

And she said, Honey, (that's what she calls me) "I've been telling you that you're too critical. Every time you get back a new version, you say it's really good, but it could be just a bit better."

So, a light bulb went off in my head as I got this really great idea. Remember those old Memorex cassette ads? Is it live or is it Memorex? Well, I could do the same thing.

So, here's what we did. I didn't have any of my good cameras with me. But I did take a picture with my iPhone. We went home and I animated it. And, it looked great.

So, the very next night, we came back with my cameras. (Not a bad life, we got another great dinner.) Anyway, I shot a movie of the ocean looking out right through the window at our table while we ate dinner. And, then I took a still image from that movie and animated it with the illusion studio. Frankly, I could have used a better picture if I had used my still camera (more pixels) but I wanted to use the exact same image from the movie to compare my water illusion with the real move.

OK that's the whole story. And it's 100% true. Not embellished or anything. What you see below are the results.

Now It's Your Turn To Judge.
Can you tell which picture is the real movie and which is my illusion? Is either a real movie? Are they both real movies. It's up to you to vote. After you vote, you'll see how everyone else has voted, and I'll tell you which, if either of them is real and which is the illusion.
Is Either Real? Which Do You Think Is The Movie & Which Is The Illusion?
So real or not. This is a real close look at the water. Normally you won't do this type of close up. So if you guess right or not, you can see that the illusion is really great.
OK, you can probably figure out which is the real water. Or, maybe not.
Q: Which do you think is a real movie of the water and which one did I create from a still photo?
I think the water on the left is real and I like it best. I think the water on the left is real, but I like water on the right better.
I think the water on the right is real and I like it best. I think the water on the right is real, but I like the water on left better.
Drew, I'm not really sure and I just want to find out for sure which one is the movie and which one you created.


What Will You Choose To Animate
With DAK's Grand Illusions Program?
Here Are Some Suggestions.
Your ski shots take on new life.
Ocean Sunsets and panoramas. For breathtaking screensavers this is the best. Remember, you'll be creating screensavers with 1 click that you can use or email to share. It's awesome.

Beaches with gentle surf. I just love the lapping the sea. It's so restful. Now you can have your kids, or spouse right there in your living screensaver. You can even make the clouds move.

Your Kids or grandkids on beach. If you're like the Kaplans, you're shooting hundreds of shots of the kids
Playing by the water won't be forgotten with this great shot. Send it to the grandparents. It's alive. They'll love it.
on the beach, but the lake in the pool. Now they'll be beautiful screensavers and standalone one-click wonders.

Sailing small boat. Oh, I love the boat trip. When we go diving or just sailing. Now with the ocean swells lapping against the boat, you'll enjoy your pictures like never before.

Skiing. What's a ski vacation without snow. Just add snow and your pictures will have new life. Just check the box and move the slider and watch the action. Oh, and you can animate the leaves to move a bit too. Don't do much. Just a little bit to ad realism.

Riding the Ski Lift. Well we covered skiing. But I had some great shots of my kids on the ski lift. So I added snow. Made the leaves move and sent it off. Really great.

In Thailand, we road elephants down the river. We sure won't forget it with the river moving again.
Pictures from your vacations. Think of all your vacation photos. If they aren't digital yet, just scan them in. You know today's scanners are well under $100, include all the software you'll need. Now you can rescue even those old shots. I took a trip to the Galapagos 30 years ago. I've added new life to my Blue Footed Booby shots. And you'll do the same thing with all your old family vacation memories.

Water park adventures. Do you take the kids to the water park? Slide down the water slides or maybe the log ride at 6 Flags? Put the excitement into your pictures. It makes a giant difference.

Washington DC Cherry Blossoms. Every been to Washington DC to see the cherry blossoms, or Capistrano to see the Swallows return? Think about all the places you've been. I'll bet you've got lots of memories you'd love to enjoy again when you use this Illusion software.

A Houseboat adventure. Ever been on a houseboat? I love jumping into the lake the best. But just the great views of the surrounding mountains as you look over the lake come alive when the lake has real ripples that move just like they did when you were there.

Now your Alaskan trip memories will come to life like never before. What a cool screensaver or email to those who didn't get to go.
An Alaskan cruse with icebergs. The ice bergs look great. They are so beautiful. And with the ocean moving and lapping against them, your memories will come alive like they never did from still pictures.

Lake Tahoe snow skiing or water-skiing. Lake Tahoe is near us. But I'll be you've got lakes, streams or ponds near you. They all make great subjects for you to animate with the Illusion Studio. Don't wait. Do it now. And then share your masterpieces. They are so easy to do. You'll make and share hundreds of them.

That Golf water trap you got suck in. I don't golf. But golf courses have spend hundreds of millions of dollars creating gorgeous water traps. They look simply great once you paint them in so they come alive.
Hang on, the rapids are coming. You can really feel the water and empathize with the rafters. Still pictures are nothing like this.

Horseback riding on the beach or river or lake – My daughter-in-law rides. And we've got some great pictures of her. With the water moving, they are so much more exciting. You'll be busy sending out screensavers and one-click standalone wonders for months.

Hiking pictures of secluded waterfalls, lakes and ponds. If you hike you're bound to run it to secluded streams and pools. They make such great pictures. Maybe nobody has ever been there before. Now when you share your pictures they will be fully alive with moving water. You can do waterfalls, lakes, rivers and so much more. You can even do drops of water on a leaf.

First Swim? Send out living pictures. She's doing great.
Swimming in a backyard pool. The kids are so cute in the pool. Even swimming laps takes on new excitement. OK swimming laps isn't fun. But the pictures you get will be. Just the normal sloshing in the pool really looks great in the pictures. It really does show you how even every day events (during the summer) are great fodder for the Illusion Studio's magic.

Driving along the California, Florida or any coast. Great shots. We drove up to see the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We took RT 1 which is a super beautiful drive along the coast. The ocean is magnificent and with the new life the Illusion program adds, you'll be taking pictures just for fun of California, Oregon, Washington and let's not forget Florida's oversea highway 1 over the water. Wow. Great shots. Great action on the water under the bridges. And there are so many pelicans your shots will be great.
You can just about see the fish jumping. Why have flat still pictures when you can enjoy living pictures.

Wyoming River fishing. Been fishing? Well, whether you caught any fish or not. What a great adventure you'll have when you animate the water in the river. Flowing rivers is one of the great things you can do with this program. It looks so cool. I'll never look at my old still pictures again. Now I can animate them and share them instantly. It's so cool.

A Trip to the zoo with all the adventures. OK my son bought a 1 year pass to the LA zoo and they are taking my grandson all the time. It's so cool. But now, I can animate all the pictures and make it even more fun. Not only can you make the water move and make the pictures much more exciting. But have some fun. I made it snow in a picture of my grandson with the flamingos. What fun. He laughed so hard. You can do it all too. Even a simple trip to the zoo with your camera can be a media even.
.
Disneyland or Disney World. So many fountains, lakes and rivers. We live in Los Angeles so we're near Disneyland. I never realized how water
My grandson absolutely loves the zoo. Now his pictures will be far more exciting than ever before.
and how many fountains there are that I can animate. And of course how much more exciting the pictures really are. This is a blast. Oh, and the kids love them too.

Any picture from a boat. If you're in a row boat, an ocean liner or cruse ship, you have the greatest shots to add the water illusion to. It just makes everything so 3-dimentional. It's amazing just how much more fun the shots are. And it's not like you have to be an artist to do it. Just paint over the water, don't worry about getting to the edge and click Preview. Your plain old shots will be exciting animated works of art.

The canals in Cleveland San Antonio or Venice California. Got canals anywhere near you? They are just like rivers for this program. They look simply great. So if you have canals, a bay or a marina, you will have really exciting shots to use for the illusions. Just hear near LA, we have Balboa, Marina Del Rey, Ventura and many more. This is a blast.

Just add snow. Now all we need is some hot apple cider and a fireplace. Is this a great living Christmas card, or what?
A snow lodge. From a winter cabin to a hotel in the snow. Oh, and a hot pool in the snow is great too. You'll have great Christmas animated scenes to send. It's astounding how great a snow covered cabin looks when you add live snow.

Sunset in Maui or Bonaire or Jamaica. Remember all those island vacations? Well now get double benefits from them. Not only did you have a great time. Not only do you have great pictures. But now you can turn those great shots into your own personal screensavers so you can relax and feel good all the time. And a screensaver with a picture you took, is so much better than those you can download because you have personal memories. Now you have great excitement and relaxing movement, sound effects and music if you like too.

Just about any picture you take can be enhanced. Look how neat this looks. It's just a hotel pool But boy does it bring back memories.
Canoeing or kayaking on a river or lake. OK I don't actually have any pictures of my wife and me canoeing. I'm not sure why it is, but every time we try to get in a river with a canoe, we almost kill ourselves. Must be something in the starts. But she does great in a Kayak without me. So I do have great shots of her coming in from her paddling.

New York City in the snow. We had the best time on a trip to New York. I took my wife on a cruse (out to the Statue of Liberty). It was so cold. Coming from Los Angeles, I'm not used to it. But now that I've added snow to my pictures, it's far more like I remember the trip. Plus, of course the water is alive and that makes all the difference.
Look how easy it is to do. Start with a picture. Just paint in the area below the subject (main part) and you're done. It's just this easy. And it doesn’t need to be black or an area with nothing in it. Just paint over and enjoy.

A Fort Lauderdale beach in the snow. Just for fun, use the Snow Globe and add snow to your favorite vacation beach shots. It's such a kick. It looks real, but you know it's not. Why not send a wish you were here, or you didn't miss much, it snowed. All just for fun.

Reflections of a rose No Water Needed – This is simply gorgeous. You can create incredibly beautiful works of art with just a few strokes. Just 'paint' the area below the rose and click the Reflection Box in the program and you'll instantly see your reflective masterpiece shimmering on your screen. As you can see to the right, the effect is so beautiful and yet, all you need to do is paint in the area below where you want the reflection and you're set. What great screensavers these make. What great standalones for you to email to your friends. This is real art.

A rose, a picture of your spouse, a car, your dog. You choose. It's all great art with just a few seconds to time to create. Email your screensavers or standalone pictures.
Reflections of your spouse's face No Water Needed – What a great way to say I love you. No need for roses. Send them a picture of themselves reflecting their inner beauty. It's simply a wonderful effect that will take you less than 30 seconds to make. Add a butterfly, some rain or snow if you like.

Reflections of a logo. No Water Needed – Great for business. Now your logo can be all class. And it's oh so easy to do. If you send these out to people, they'll keep them because they are oh so pretty.

Reflections of your dog. No Water Needed – We do love our dogs. Now you can have one of these gorgeous artistic renderings of your dog with the full reflection. It's the perfect screensaver. And what a great gift for any dog or cat lover.

A Word About Snow Globes
Or Water Globes.
It's a 21st century Snow Globe. But better. You can control the size, the speed and even the transparency of the snow. Your friends will love to get your emailed snow globes.
They are such fun to shake. And they've been collectors items since, well, the 1800s. Originally they became popular in France and spread through Europe. They didn't get popular here till about the 1920s. They were filled with water and bone chips. Now you'll find them filled with oil and plastic chips.

But here we are in the 21st century and you can make a computer version that you can email to friends and family alike. Now you'll have the perfect gift card to send out. Just take any picture, add snow and send. There's nothing special you need to do. Just click snow and watch your natural wonder come alive.

Want to have some real fun? I get the biggest laughs when I add snow where it doesn't belong. My wife and grandson were at the zoo watching the flamingos (He's two).

I simply took the picture, added snow and everyone was laughing hysterically. One of my friends is a nature photographer. I asked him for some waterfall pictures. (They were awesome). But mixed in was a lovely model on the beach here in Malibu.
Crazy, Preposterous, Ironic Fun Too.
It's easy to add animated animals, plants lightening and more. Plus you can get them anywhere on the Internet, mostly for free. They are called animated .gifs and the program incorporates them into any of your pictures. You can control where they go. How long they stay. Both how fast they move and how fast the animated part is and much more. Just a few clicks and you can add them to your pictures.
Usually you'll add these great animations to your living pictures for a great effect. Here I've got a giant butterfly attaching the tennis player and a woodpecker attaching the camel. Plus I just added more butterflies for effect. Oh, and I added snow to both as well. It's crazy, but it's fun to send to friends.

Frankly I wasn't sure where that picture came from. But when I sent him back the waterfall pictures he asked me if I hadn't liked the girl on the beach. Well, I fixed him. I sent it back to him with the water surging around her feet which was great.

But, I also added snow and a few butterflies. He called me instantly to see if I was crazy. Of course we agreed I was. But it's really a lot of fun to do the unexpected. If they don't appreciate you, well, who cares. You had fun. J

Anyway back to the snow globes. Take a family picture and add now. Take it indoors. Take it on the beach, in the mall or with Santa Claws. You will have a great time and so will everyone who gets your email. For sure, you'll be the only one they know sending them 21st century virtual snow globes. Enjoy.

 















































































Reminds me of the Old Man And The Sea. "Water, Water Everywhere. . ."



























































Heading out to surf takes on new energy with this memorable shot. Paint over the ocean and not the woman and you're all set.


















































































































Your spouse as a screensaver or emailed standalone living picture. Wow, how neat.

3.) Effortlessly crop, resize, level, Remove Red Eye and correct lighting of your pictures. Instantly add Props like hats, watches sunglasses and more, from the included prop room. Add text that's normal, circular, skewed or use 100s of exciting effects.
Photo Retouching Graphics Program - Decorate, Add Props & Enhance.
Now let's turn mundane into exciting. Have you ever used a photo-retouching program? Normally they can be hard to lean to use and require lots of expertise. Plus they don't do much else. Well forget that.

Wait till you try the instant picture and brush stamping in this program. You'll instantly add all types of interesting and exciting shapes, images and ideas to your photos.

And wait till you put text in your pictures. You can skew, angle, round, flip and color your text with just a few clicks. I love manipulating text and this program has the easiest most awesome text handling I've seen.

But it's a retouching program. If you shoot a lot of pictures, like I do you know all the problems. You get red eye. Sure you can use the red eye setting on the camera, but if your kids are like my grandkids they move too fast for that. Now just click and drag.

How about leveling? Do you get the camera level? I don't. Just click Level Image and your set. Crop? No problem. Just keep the part you want. Resize? Big, small or anywhere in between. Sure there's auto color enhance and correction. That's easy. But how about Vingnetting the area you want to stand out?

And Drew's favorite. I love cloning. You just brush over a part you want in one picture (the same or a different picture) and it magically appears wherever you want it to. There are so many more tools. Check out my photo retouching and decorating program.

There's nothing mundane about fixing and decorating your photos any more. It's fun and the same photos you've always taken will take on a whole new professional aura.
