My Videos for years consistently with Magix I edit other hand (in different versions). Therefore now my decision, the Photo & Graphic Designer 9 zuzulegen of Magix. Here are my first impressions. Installation, activation and registration were dealt with quickly and without any problems. And you're able. As a longtime Magix users (besides video and photos on DVD) was familiar to me, the work surface in large parts. But even without this knowledge I find them very clear and self-explanatory.
The specific features available for image optimization are varied, with the one-click image enhancement (brightness, contrast, sharpness, color saturation, temperature and sound) provides very decent results. The individual parameters can still readjust and the comparison with the original is possible with a single click. Numerous effects seduce for artistic creativity. Especially many ways provides the color editor here. The photo retouching is easily accomplished with the Healing Brush.
I was pleasantly surprised by the easy way to remove the background of an image. (Such photos without background I like to use in photo books.) In addition, Magix has added eleven new photo-FX plug-ins effects (eg thermal imaging or tilt-shift). However, the pseudo-HDR effect is not very convincing. The Panorama montages, however quite. In addition to the image editing, the program offers many possibilities of graphic design, which tools I have so far only been tested.
Conclusion: After the first experiments convinced Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9 fully. The range of possibilities covers safely please any amateur photographers. This proves that already almost 600 pages long manual, which is stored as a PDF file in the installation. For software package includes Magix Photo Manager 12 and Magix Slideshow Maker 2, and as a bonus MAGIX Online Album Premium (for one year). Among the many (sometimes busy) Try trying out the software, there were no complications and crashes. In my opinion, a rounder program that are the photo editing not only easier but also creative suggestions.
