Pixeluvo can only be recommended especially User with Reflex Camera as I can let off steam wonderfully. To get a brilliant End Result of his Pictures, Pixeluvo is a "MUST"! Well and for 19.19 Euros it was a super Bargain .. Well, it is not a Photoshop, but it is much easier to understand and learn faster and I prefer to use a Few Points rather than Photoshop.

A very, very good Image Editing Program!
Pixeluvo has relatively many high-quality Features, an absolutely respectable, dark User interface and is easy for advanced "Artists" to use, with Beginners getting on with the Program quickly as long as they have some English to understand.
However, one easily reaches its Limits after a few Hours, because unfortunately not many image formats are supported ("just." tif-,. jpeg-,. png-,. tga-and .Bmp files), you don't have a "color Pimper tool" or Similar and it's a bit complicated to add Masks ( However, that's the only one that can really prove difficult).
In Summary, I can say that this Software is absolutely worth its Price, but I would like updates with more supported Image Formats, new Tools, and even more Possibilities! :D
