Does anyone use Photo Impact 12

[SamRoc]

I got a discount for photo impact 12. I tried their free trial of photo impact 11 and can get 12 for $81.00. Does anyone know what are the newest improvements in 12?

I copied this from the Ulead site. I didn't copy the pictures that went to the side of the features because I don't think the Webmasters would appreciate it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, it sounds like a lot of great features. But i really dont think i could teach myself how to use them all! I really liked the trial verson of photo impact 11, but i dont think i really figured out how to use the whole program. But i did think that $81 was a good price for the new program.
