My 9 yr. old has been enjoying this game. I think the pace picks up a little quickly for kids, especially the smaller kids that will play this. My 11 yr old will give it a little bit of time, but not much, she loses interest. I do wish the demo was longer than an hour. I understand the next level can probably be achieved in this time, but figure a way to block it, with short attention spans, the game can time out before they get to play enough to decide if they like it. Overall, I think it's fun for my kids, don't really have a complaint about other stuff. |

In the Aperture preferences, under the Export option, mine copy has PSD 300DPI selected, I assume that's 8bit. This is the only other thing I can think of, as when Aperture prepares it to export, this is the type of file it generates. I just tried the 16bit, and it is working as well, so I really can't think of anything else that would be causing you problems! I'm no expert though :) |

The docs left out that you may need to create the Plug-Ins folder, then add the plugin to that. It's not very useful at this time within Aperture if you need to align them yourself, but pretty much works perfectly if auto-align works. They're also not that great about answering the forum in a timely manner, but all my emails have been answered. Good luck! |

Well, they didn't lie, it now has tonemapping as well as an Aperture plugin! The plugin is in beta, and will expire in June or July, but it's been working for me so far. I want to say that it's more like an automator action, where it loads aperture, then imports your rendered image into a folder/project you select, but that's fine with me too! Been playing with this a bit tonight, and it sure is fun. I really need to start bracketing more of my shots, I did it for a while, but got out of the habit. The regular HDR images were great out of this app, it did what it was supposed to do. I suppose the best compliment to get for a HDR picture is that someone doesn't 'see it'. The tonemapping I am still experimenting with, and have had interesting results so far. Gotta love it. |

I got this after trying several other apps, looking to make stuff for my websites, and couldn't be happier with it. While being new to this, I've had a lot of questions, and the developer has answered each one, and I'm sure most of them were basic questions, in less than a day. Some of my questions about other apps are still unanswered to this day on other software support forums. Most of the new video tutorials have been around, especially if you've seen the SCO podcasts. Would love to see some sort of user generated tutorials specific to this app, that's one thing I wish the dev would add to the site. Crowdsourcing the type of questions I, and possibly others, might have, is a good idea :) Especially considering that a good number of users got the app by default, in a Heist or something, and didn't seek it out because they felt it was the best in the field, or fit their needs. |

You've gotta describe what you did in each app before you talk about 'wow' results. Photomatix is a HDR/Tone Mapping application, Hydra is not at the moment, although Tone Mapping is coming in a future release, according to my communication with the developer, he said in the 'Spring', I emailed him back and told him the dogwoods are blooming and the birds chirping here already :) |

I've been using Elements 3 for quite a while. I'm no artist or pro photographer, heck, I rely on auto settings or trickery to get the job done mostly! Once I got a new machine with Leopard on it, I went looking for the new version of Elements, and read reviews that it didn't work, so I went looking for alternatives, and found this. As I said before, I'm not very good in the art department, but I do enjoy using Pixelmator for what little I do know how to do. All the tools seem to be in the same place, which is great. I've not had any image speed problems after the latest update, I don't know if the Core Image problem is fixed, but that's not a problem of this software at all. All in all, I really like the interface, it's laid out where I am used to finding things, and seems to do just about everything I would want an image editor to do for now. As far as the comparisons to Photoshop, that's pretty absurd if you ask me, nobody is going to sell you a replacement for a $600 app with a $60 one. I think I fall into the 'rest of us' category the tagline mentions, and i'm pretty happy with the app. |

This is a nice app, I really like the output, but have one pretty major gripe. I purchased the Pro version, and after the banner is published, and upon right click, is an ad for the company, and a link back to the company site. I would understand on the normal version, but the pro version? $130 is a bit much to advertise for the company. Granted not many folks are going to right click on it, but what if I made it for a client, isn't that what the Pro version is for? |
