As a computer-scrapper and a digital photographer, I really like several new features -
- you can put text on any shape or path you want to
- there is a new highlight/shadow tool that can bring
out detail in pics that are too dark especially
- if you want to use several pictures on a page that are
different originally in color tonal range, you can choose
the one you like best and use the new color match
tool to make the others similar
- photomerge tool is improved
- they have improved the image browser
There is enough about it that I like to justify the expense of the
upgrade(for me, software junky that I am).They have also made the help files more friendly with tutorials and it comes with a one hour trng video if you buy the box version of upgrade.
