The recently released Corel Digital Studio 2010 has been met with mostly positive reviews, its most common criticism being that editing power gives too much way to accessibility. Perhaps the best tag for the newest photo-and-video editing suite is “No previous experience required!”
Giving preference to usability at every chance, Digital Studio forgoes advanced features and sophistication for a friendly template-based approach and a straightforward interface. CNet.com said, “Corel is reaching out to new users of the point-and-shoot crowd, and to those who want to upgrade older software.”
The collection includes four applications, PaintShop Photo Express (a light version of Paint Shop Pro), VideoStudio Express (video-editing software), DVD Factory (DVD burning and converting software), and WinDVD (DVD player software). The suite is designed to meet consumers’ needs in all aspects of creating, editing, sharing, and publishing photos and videos.
With its low price, simple interface, and wide range of applications, Corel Digital Studio is perfect for the hobbyist looking for a quick, clean-cut experience that will handle photo and video needs with ease and efficiency. His creations will always look good, and play and publish well. Consumers requiring a far-reaching and more powerful product however should look elsewhere.
