| Re: Event Software? Norbert, we also have recently purchased Express Digital. Let me first say that I have not seen one single thing, other than the event management side of Express Digital, that PS6 cannot do. However, here are a couple that we use very often that are much faster in Express Digital. I can shoot green screen, pick up my image and the drop-out happens automatically, near instantaneously and with great accuracy. I also have the ability to tweak the settings, much easier than in PS6, and I did try with the same images in both, as a trial before we paid the money. The second thing is that when I add a border Express Digital allows me to scale and move the image within the border very easily. Can't do that in PS, at least not that I am aware of. The image manipulation in Express Digital is rudimentary compared to PS, but you can work images in PS and then use them in Express Digital as well. And let's not forget about the package printing, much more comprehensive. Now, I must also say that the "demo" they sent us was totally worthless, it was simply a slide show of screen shots. We called and they sent us a trial that we worked with for a week or so before funds were transferred. Try that with the full version, I was amazed. One other nice thing is that after you apply a border treatment you can save the image to a file for later use as well.
Hope this helps. White Balance so easy, even our 5 year old can do it.- Melissa Strickland |
