Our BEST Photo Software Deal Of The YEAR!!

My New Favorite Photo Program! And a Serious "Must Have"!!

We have MGI PhotoSuite 4 Platinum Edition for only $24.97! And yes, US Shipping is FREE! The retail on this software is $59.95, so this is way over half off! Also, we checked around and we're beating everyone on this. Amazon has it for $49.95, then they give you a $10.00 "Amazon" rebate, so the final cost is $39.95 plus shipping. CDW has the regular edition for $31.50 plus shipping, PC Mall is $46.95 plus shipping. See what I mean? Our deal is awesome! (And yes, this is the current version.)

OK, you know it's a good deal, what can it do for you?

Well, this is the first time with version 4 of this software and to say I was impressed is a huge understatement. This thing is incredible. It combines ease of use and power in a way that should make any other software company jealous. It's really is that good. Oh, also note that the summary below really doesn't do the program justice. You really need to stop by the page at the site.

It's divided into six sections to make working with your photos easy. Here's a (very) brief overview:

#1 - Get Your Photos - This section lets you bring photos into the program from your computer, a disk / CD, a scanner, KodakNet online, or digital camera. Super-easy to use.

# 2 Prepare Your Photos - This is the fun section. It lets you take your photograph and adjust just about everything. You can rotate, crop, touch up, cut out a section, paint, draw, use special effects, stitch photos together in a panorama, even make a photo tapestry! In all there are over 40 different tools included.

One set that I really liked were the Touch Up Tools. They let you remove red-eye, scratches, wrinkles, and blemishes. Cool huh? And this is only a fraction of what's available!!

# 3 - Compose - This area lets you create print projects with your photos. You know, stuff like collages, photo layout, cards, gift tags, calendars, frames, business related material, and lots of other fun stuff.

# 4 - Organize - Want to keep better track of your photos? This software makes it easy to organize them into photo albums. It's one of the smartest organizational tools I've seen.

# 5 - Share - This lets you save your photos, send them vie e-mail, create web images, set photos as your desktop wallpaper, even do a slide show! You can also make your own screen saver or create an interactive panorama for the web!

# 6 - Print - After you're done playing with your photos, it's time to print! This section makes printing your photos a snap. Just pick the format and print it out. Nothing could be easier.

OK, sorry for taking so long, but there is a lot to this program. In fact, I've barely touched the surface of what it is capable of - wait till you see the webpage (give it a minute to load though :-). It really is a super program and the price is right. So, if you want in on this, get to the site ASAP. Oh, and remember, we have our 30 day satisfaction guarantee - if you buy it, try it, and don't like it, we'll take it back! The only way you lose is if you pass on this deal :-)

Computers 101

Q:
I'm tired of having computer cords and wires and cables hanging out of everywhere! The office supply store sells Cord Management do-hickeys, but they're quite expensive. Any quick (and cheap) solutions?

A:
Most of us have wires all over the place. If you're a neat freak, this can be a constant source of aggravation and frustration. The good news is that there is a simple way to get them off the floor, off the monitor, and generally out of the way.

A woodworking tool known as a 'clamp' (a spring type thing for holding wood together, similar to huge spring clips for paper) works fantastically well for this. They run anywhere from $0.99 - $2.00 US at your local hardware store.

I am in the process of moving my office around (yet again) and until things are situated right (with networks, attachments, scanners, etc.) the wires are in the way. So, I just took one of those big clamps and clamped it to a shelf on the desk. There is plenty of room behind the grasping edge of the clamp and the jaws to fit a bunch of wires. I used a total of 4 clamps and all the wires are up and out of the way.

Tip of the Day

Better Browsing

Have you ever been at a site and saw a link you wanted to follow? You almost click the link, but then decide that you want to finish looking through the web page you're currently on. What should you do?

Next time you're faced with the question above, right-click the link you want to follow and select Open in New Window from the resulting menu (you can also hold down the SHIFT key while you left-click). A new browser window will open and display the new page.

I use this trick all the time when I'm hunting around for information. For example, when I'm using a search engine, I'll do the "Open in a new window" trick each time I see a link that looks relevant. It's great to have the rest of your search results ready and waiting for you when you're finished exploring a link!
