I never used the previous version, but I have to say that new interface is simply brilliant....didn't need to use help once, just all made sense and worked great. The special effects, relying on Core Image, are really outstanding. The program is just plain *fun* to use, and within minutes I created some marvelous new desktops. (The screensaver is great eye candy, too.)
For a desktop image nut like me, this is a must have...and the price is very reasonable for all the ease of use and features. Going to buy it today.

I run Mac OS 10.4.9.
I have a 12.8 MP camera and my picture file sizes are bigger. Every time I try to add a picture, it blows up.

It's really just useless eye candy or something to amuse the kids for a few minutes but seems near pointless to have this eating your CPU.
Try 'PhotoStickies' which does a lot of what this does and more - yet has been around for a few years and is a couple of dollars less expensive.

I especially love being able to switch sets on a whim using the menu.
It won't let me because it says the program is open, even after I force quit.
Help.
Thanks
