After using photo studio 5.5 for a couple of years I had to update to Photo Studio 6 after Installing Windows 7. (Win 7 is a must for those using digital photo or camcorder work.) 6.0 is the worst upgrade of any software I have used. It is in cropping that it fails. I crop my 4x3 into 16x9 10x8 and several other precise images.If you don't crop your images then you'll be ok with 6.0.
Pro:
It now displays preview items larger if you're less than full scan. Big Deal!
There are improvements in rotating images and several other minor improvements.
Con:
5.5 right click had these needed commands:
cut, copy, actual view, fit in window, zoom in, and zoom out (but needed crop).
6.0 right click has these needed commands:
crop and zoom to (which is in percentage and not as useful, will not display fit in window.DUMB.
5.5 when you select image using left click, size of image is shown in position box.
6.0 position box removed which makes it harder to crop images. WHY? DUMB! For my use, this was a disaster! 5.5 is 5 stars and 6.0 is 2 stars.
If you do not have Windows 7, then you will find 5.5 is a great basic program and at $17.95 on Amazon lots of bang for the buck. Windows 7 users will pay $ 74.99. Go elsewhere.
