You see original digital pictures not as the finished product, but more as a starting point — a canvas on which to express your inner artist. Unlike mere editing which helps bring out the best of what the camera captures, you are always looking for ways to turn your photos into art. Digital Image Suite 10 helps you express your creative side, and gives you more ways to share your creations with others. Where will your inner artist take you?

Who says memories can’t be improved upon? Why not take that favourite colour shot of outdoor skyline and turn it into black and white — your own tribute to Ansel Adams? Or discover how charming your home really is when you add a sepia tone for a richer expression. Try adding unique textures to a photo’s background, or use the New! Levels and Curves tool to saturate colours precisely where you want them.

Featuring 200 filters, Digital Image Suite 10 lets you turn any picture into something artistic. Choose the Watercolor or Smooth Pastel filter to add a softer, warmer look. Use the Antique or Sepia filters to give a family picture an old-world feel.

With 3,000 project templates, making unique photo albums, address cards and photo projects become outlets for your creativity. Combine any of the 5,000 included images with your own to create one-of-a-kind expressions. Put the family cat’s face on the body of a lion? Why not!

Before you print your perfect picture, be sure to showcase it properly by adding mats, frames, borders and edges.

Choose from dozens of special text effects to add dates or notations to an image to tell a more complete story. When ready for printing, print guides and templates help ensure you print them at the correct size from the start. New! Print Sharpening optimises print output without changing the original photo, so you get cleaner, sharper prints.

New! Panoramic Stitching lets you join numerous pictures (side-to-side and top-to-bottom) to capture mountain skylines, skyscrapers from the ground up, and all the aunts and uncles at your family reunion.

Some stories just can’t be told by still pictures alone. Bring out the movie producer in you with New! Photo Story 2.0 as you reconstruct your child’s game-winning home run to share with Grandma. Simply choose the still photos you want included, add background music, narration and title pages, and you’ve created a video story ready to be sent off to friends and family on a CD, DVD or via email.
